From March 15 to 17, for its third participation at Art Basel - Hong Kong, Tornabuoni Art has chosen to present a selection of artworks of Italian artists from the second half of the 20th Century.  

Enrico Castellani's Superficie Rossa was hung at the Guggenheim Museum of New York during the exhibition ZERO: Countdown to Tomorrow, 1950s-60s that ended beginning of January 2015. 

Castellani rejects mimetic art claiming light, shadow and space must be present in art itself through the use of non-descriptive elements.  

Among the selection will be presented a prestigious Mappa by Alighiero Boetti which was a part of the major retrospective dedicated to the artist held at the Tate in London, the MoMA in New York and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid. 

In 20 years more than a hundred Mappe, of all sorts of colours and dimensions were woven based on the artist's drawings, creating his view of the world and offering a vision of the passage of time and the political changes.
