In his career, spanning more than four decades, architectural history, neorealist film, and conceptual art have all played a significant role in shaping his unsentimental but also intensely personal images of rural and suburban landscapes in Italy and Europe.
Guidi’s work was included in the seminal exhibition "Viaggio in Italia" curated by Luigi Ghirri in 1984 and has been exhibited at the Venice Biennale (2004), Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris (1989), Guggenheim Museum, New York (1994), Fotomuseum Winterthur (2014) and "Veramente", a retrospective, toured from the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation (Paris). A major exhibition of previously unseen and unpublished photographs taken in Sardinia, during two visits (1974 and 2011) was on view at MAN (Museo d’Arte Provincia di Nuoro), Sardinia (2019), accompanied by a publication (MACK) for which he was awarded the Hemingway prize (Premio Hemingway 2020) for Photography.
Guido Guidi is currently preparing for a major retrospective exhibition "From Zero", curated by Marta Dahó, at La Virreina, Barcelona due to open in October 2021.
Large Glass is an independent, commercial gallery. For a decade now, the gallery has worked with a range of significant international artists to conceive of and curate solo and group exhibitions through a particular and uncommon lens. The gallery’s effort is to show art in a wider cultural context that is thought provoking, rigorous, innovative and of exceptional quality. | | | | unsubscribe here Newsletter was sent to newsletter@newslettercollector.com
