Gianfranco Baruchello – Primo alfabeto

MASSIMODECARLO is delighted to announce Primo Alfabeto, an exhibition that exceptionally brings together the works created by Gianfranco Baruchello between 1959 and 1962. Curated by Carla Subrizi, President of the Baruchello Foundation and Director of the Specialisation School in Historical Artistic Heritage at the Sapienza University of Rome, Primo Alfabeto presents a series of works that centre around the concept of the alphabet. The exhibition includes paintings, objects, and drawings, displaying both the formal and conceptual aspects of Baruchello's already distinctive artistic exploration. During these years, Baruchello passionately pursued the unprecedented development of a personal alphabet, a term he defines as "temporary." The conception of this alphabet in the late 1950s and early 1960s established unique connections with artists of his time. However, what truly distinguishes Baruchello's alphabet is its reference to the body and the emotional sphere.
