AGOSTINO BONALUMI
Agostino Bonalumi was born in Vimercate, Milan, on July 10, 1935. Abandoning his studies in technical and mechanical drawing, he devoted himself as a self-taught painter, holding his first solo exhibition at Galleria Totti in Milan in 1956. He attended Enrico Baj’s studio and met Enrico Castellani and Piero Manzoni, with whom in 1958 he exhibited in Rome, Lausanne and finally Milan. The following year he founds with Castellani the magazine “Azimuth” and attends the studio of Lucio Fontana, beginning a research focused on space that leads him to make his first “estroflessioni”: works that the artist defines Pitture-Oggetto, obtained thanks to frames and structures that, placed on the back of the canvas, involve its tension and deformation. In the 1960s, his research evolved toward the creation of works-ambient, in which the viewer actively participates in the space, such as Blu abitabile (1967), Grande ambiente bianco e nero (1968), and Ambiente pittura dal giallo al bianco e dal bianco al giallo (1979).
He participated in the Venice Biennale in 1966, in 1970 with a solo room, and in 1986. In 1980 a major retrospective of his work was mounted in the rooms of Palazzo Te in Mantua, and the following year he participated with Piero Dorazio, Mimmo Rotella and Giuseppe Santomaso in the exhibition “Italian Art: Four Contemporary Directions” at the Museum of Art in Fort Lauderdale, Florida (USA). In 2002 he was awarded the President of the Republic Prize, and on this occasion the Accademia Nazionale di S. Luca dedicated a retrospective exhibition to him at the Palazzo Carpegna venue in Rome. In 2003 an exhibition was held at the Civica Galleria d’Arte Moderna in Gallarate and he participated in the exhibition “Futuro Italiano,” held in the halls of the European Parliament in Brussels. At the turn of 2003 and 2004 the Institut Mathildenhöe in Darmstadt mounted a solo exhibition of his work. Bonalumi died in Desio on September 18, 2013.
