Mario Giacomelli

Abstraction, 1967 Gouache on Canvas, 50x40 cm, signed, dated "*67" lower right angle, original gilded wood frame On 14 March 2022, just weeks ago, opened an exhibition in the spaces of the Museo Laboratorio di Arte Contemporanea della Sapienza entitled Tra pittura e fotografia (Between Painting and Photography). The exhibition - curated by Irene Caravita in collaboration with the Archivio Mario Giacomelli - presents works that have never been seen before, or at least have never been seen for half a century. Although Giacomelli painted (and wrote verses) from a very young age and throughout his life, only some of his works had in fact been exhibited during the 60s and 70s. We present here four paintings by Mario Giacomelli which were decorating since 50 years the wall of one of Senigallia's most famous hotels, lots 47-50, and a few canvases by other local artists and friends, from the same provenance, lots 51-57.
