The museum Peggy Guggenheim Collection commemorates the 60th anniversary of the artist Osvaldo Licini’s death with the exhibition Osvaldo Licini. Let Sheer Folly Sweep Me Away.

Osvaldo Licini is an artist from the region of the Marches, who is devoted to abstract art, but he is nothing than static: his anguished personality seems to be reflected in his artistic journey defined by sudden change of style. In the 1920s he departs from the realism of his first figurative phase in the direction of a disruptive form of abstract art, which is led by a irrepressible need of experimentation. His bond with the figurative art remains and Licini places himself on the edge between the two forms of expression. The dedication of the artist will be rewarded with the Grand Prize for painting at the XXIX Venice Biennale, where he displays 53 works created in the period between 1925 and 1958.

The museum dedicates to Osvaldo an exhibition that is divided into the eleven galleries, which retrace all the stages of his anguished artistic career: a totality of one hundred works of art, which go from the figurative canvas of his youth to the more complex and abstract ones. The exhibition is supported by the illustrated publication of Marsilio Editore, which is written both in Italian and English.

The exhibition was lauched on 22 september 2018 and it will end on 14 january 2019, so there are few days left to walk through the artistic career of one of the most important figure of the Italian and international modernism.
