Artists

Valerio Adami

Press release

Tornabuoni Art Paris presents an exhibition dedicated to the paintings of Valerio Adami featuring a selection of canvases that showcase some of the most iconic themes defining the artist’s prolific career, spanning from the 1960s to the early 2000s. Marking 90 years since Adami’s birth and five decades since his first French retrospective at the Musée d’art moderne de la ville de Paris in 1970, this exhibition revisits the artist’s evolving exploration of key motifs: tributes to fellow artists, interiors, travel and the theatrical realm.

This exhibition continues the gallery’s tradition of showcasing major monographic exhibitions dedicated to the masters of post-war Italian art. With Adami’s works held in public collections worldwide, including the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and following the major retrospective at Palazzo Reale in Milan in 2024 that Tornabuonio Art supported through the loan of a historic work, this presentation offers the Parisian audience a fresh perspective on the defining themes of the artist’s career.
