THE ANTI-VASSALLI

25.06.2025

Eugenio Gazzola, essayist and cultural organizer, signs a book on Sebastiano Vassalli—renowned writer, but also poet and painter. Vassalli is best known for his novel La chimera (winner of the Strega Prize, 1990), but many are unaware of his pop paintings from the early 1960s, which Studio Gariboldi has patiently and passionately collected. With equal passion and expertise, Eugenio Gazzola has written L’ANTIVASSALLI, an essay of nearly 200 pages that reveals much to those who admire the poet, the writer, and also (especially in chapter 6) the artist.
Gazzola will be at the gallery in December to present his book: Thursday the 11th at 5 PM. Limited seating, reservation required at press@studiogariboldi.com
