#AikoMiyawaki (1929–2014) was a Japanese artist known for her sculptures made with brass pipes that explore light, reflection, and transformation. Active in Milan, New York, and many international cities, she developed an abstract and innovative language that combines various materials with a surrealist sensibility.

#NobuyaAbe (1913, Niigata) was a key figure in 20th-century Japanese art.
From 1939 he exhibited with the Bijitsu Bunka Kyokai group (L’Illumination).
Living and working in Italy from 1962, he became a vital bridge between Japan and Europe and a key reference for Japanese artists who came to live and work in Italy during the 1950s and 1960s.
He also played an important role in introducing the work of Lucio Fontana to Japan.

Sebastiano Vassalli (1941–2015) earned his degree in Literature under Cesare Musatti with a thesis entitled Psychoanalysis and Contemporary Art, discussed in the presence of Gillo Dorfles.
He began his career as a painter and, thanks to his artworks, joined Gruppo 63, the neo-avant-garde literary movement, through Edoardo Sanguineti.
After encountering American Pop Art at the 1964 Venice Biennale, Vassalli chose to devote himself to writing.
With the novel La chimera, he won the Premio Strega in 1990.
“Great stories belong to the past or to the future.
The present is the life of a condominium.”
