Agostino Bonalumi together with Enrico Castellani and Piero Manzoni gives life to the triad's most influential in postwar Italian art. Son of the teachings of Lucio Fontana takes over, not so much the strength provocative, as the aesthetic assumptions. Right from the lessons of his ideal teacher born in 1956, the "imbottiti", protrusions of the paintings from earlier uncertain and then increasingly clear and defined. A rejection of the avant-garde with some pop influences do not want to be pictures, but objects; sequences of circles and cylinders that find their expressive power in monochrome.

The Province of Catanzaro presents the first solo exhibition dedicated to the artist after his disappearance. A selection of forty large works that trace the career of Bonalumi will remain on display at the museum MARCA in Catanzaro until 31 May 2014. The exhibition explores the dialectic evolution that characterizes the path of Bonalumi tense the affirmation of rigorous solutions, which do not allow the style, seen as cliche, to take over.
