MIchael_PEL_9850 E

Dear Michael,
how much wisdom, diligence, knowledge you have dedicated to art, often with stinging irony.
You knew a lot… and since 1972, when you decided to settle in Italy, you made the gallery grow thanks to your experience, to international institutional relations and to the artists you knew.
Like a rainbow, you switch between presence and absence, but there are still many memories of you here … and just as you wrote, rainbows have no end.

On Thursday September 2 from 10:45 to 12:00 we will say goodbye to Michael, who will be welcomed in the gallery.
In compliance with government regulations, mask and Green Pass are required.

When

Starts: September 2, at 10.45 a.m.
Ends: September 2, at noon

Where

Studio la Città
Lungadige Galtarossa 21
