Toscani chez Mazzoleni

After Palazzo Reale in Milan and Palazzo Albergati in Bologna, Mazzoleni Torino hosts the third and final stage of the series of exhibitions celebrating Oliviero Toscani’s 80th birthday.
“Toscani chez Mazzoleni” brings together a wide selection of photographs curated by the artist, from his most iconic and well-known images to the unpublished corpus of photographs of the “Grande Cretto” di Burri di Gibellina, presented for the first time with the innovative technique of printing on concrete.

The exhibition opens on the ground floor of the gallery with an anthology of over one hundred images that retrace the creative power of Oliviero Toscani embracing his entire career. Going upstairs to the main floor, the exhibition presents a more rarefied selection, a series of photographs printed with a particular technique on large concrete slabs for the first time, a technique which gives the images body and three-dimensionality. Iconic works by an artist who used visionary skills, provocation and transgression to counter racism, inequality, and abuse.
