✨Studio Gariboldi is pleased to announce the exhibition ITALY-JAPAN, Japanese artists in Milan since 1960s. 

The project offers a renewed perspective on the history of modern art, highlighting cultural exchange as a central driver of artistic innovation well before globalization became a defining paradigm. Artists such as #KatsumiNakai, #TomonoriToyofuku, #NobuyaAbe, #KeyHiraga and #AikoMiyawaki developed original approaches to abstract painting and sculpture by merging Eastern sensibilities with European formal structures, anticipating by decades a transnational understanding of artistic practice.

🔹Through a focused curatorial framework, Studio Gariboldi reconstructs the narrative of a unique cultural bridge, largely absent from dominant international accounts. The exhibition proposes abstraction as a shared field of experimentation, neither exclusively European nor uniquely Japanese, shaped through dialogue, movement, and exchange.

The exhibition presents a selection of works by Japanese artists supported by the gallery in recent years and is accompanied by previously unpublished archival documentation from the 1960s and 1970s.
