Alfonso Leoni | March 2022

As part of the research on ceramics produced in Italy in the second half of the twentieth century, the gallery exhibits a collection of seven sculptures by Alfonso Leoni (Faenza, 1941-1980). The sculptures, photographed here by Leonardo Farina, were made between the mid-1960s and mid-1970s. They intend to document some specific aspects of an extraordinary and eclectic production which, in the few years of the artist’s life, has contributed to radically redefine the relationship between ceramics, visual arts and design.
