Valerio Adami Prints

Italian, b. 1935

Valerio Adami is an artist internationally recognized for his seductively rich and psychologically complex paintings. He started from an expressionist painting influenced by the work of Francis Bacon, and then he approached the abstract visual idioms of Pop Art with its cartoonish imagery, flatness and eye-popping colors. His artistic life was deeply marked by the meeting with the painters Roberto Sebastián Antonio Matta and Wilfredo Lam, who inspired and encouraged him to develop his talents. Adami’s works are layered with meanings, and his works are exhibited in the most important museums all over the world, London, New York, Venice, Chicago, Rome, Washington, Paris and Tokyo.

About the Artist Valerio Adami (b. 1935, Bologna) is one of Italy’s most important postwar painters and printmakers. A student of Felice Carena and influenced early on by Léger, Adami developed his signature style in the 1960s: a fusion of Pop Art color fields, comic strip outlines, and complex allegorical themes. His works often explore cultural memory, history, literature, and philosophy. Adami’s works are held in major museum collections worldwide, including the Tate Modern (London), the Centre Pompidou (Paris), and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (Madrid). His prints and paintings have been widely exhibited and remain highly sought after by collectors of European modernism.

Educated at the Accademia di Brera in Milan, he has since worked in both London and Paris. His art is influenced by Pop Art. Adami was born in Bologna. In 1945, at the age of ten, he began to study painting under the instruction of Felice Carena. He was accepted into the Brera Academy (Accademia di Brera) in 1951, and there studied as a draughtsman until 1954 in the studio of Achille Funi. In 1955 he went to Paris, where he met and was influenced by Roberto Matta and Wifredo Lam. His first solo exhibition came in 1959 in Milan. In his early career, Adami's works were expressionistic, but by the time of his second exhibition in 1964 at Kassel, he had developed a style of painting reminiscent of French Cloisonnism, featuring regions of flat color bordered by black lines. Unlike Gauguin, however, Adami's subjects were highly stylized and often presented in fragments, as seen in Telescoping Rooms (1965). In the 1970s, Adami began to address politics in his art, and incorporated subject matter such as modern European history, literature, philosophy, and mythology. In 1971, he and his brother Giancarlo created the film Vacances dans le désert. In 1974 he illustrated a Helmut Heissenbuttel poem, Occasional Poem No. 27.
