Gillo Dorfles at MiArt 2026: Paula Seegy Gallery's Solo Show

Paula Seegy Gallery makes its first appearance at MiArt with the solo exhibition Gillo Dorfles. The Becoming of Art between Aesthetics and Market. The project engages with the 2026 edition theme, "New Directions", presenting a selection that spans more than sixty years of the artist's practice.

The exhibition brings together canvases, works on paper, lithographs and monotypes that trace Dorfles' development: from his early involvement with the Movimento Arte Concreta to his mature works of the 1980s and artworks from the 2000s. The selection highlights the persistent balance between formal rigor and expressive freedom in his practice.

What to see

• Early works: pieces from the 1940s and 1950s documenting post-war experimentation.
• Mature paintings: works from the 1980s and 1990s featuring hybrid forms, vivid colors and ironic gestures.
• Recent pieces: 2000s works with theatrical compositional structures and visionary tones.

Public talk

On Saturday, April 18 at 5:00 PM Renato Diez will meet the public for a discussion on Dorfles’ works, market valuations and collecting. The talk is a practical opportunity to understand the historical and market significance of the artist’s output.

Why visit

The exhibition provides a critical overview of one of the most versatile figures in twentieth-century Italian visual culture—critic, theorist and artist—making it relevant for visitors interested in the relationships between aesthetics, communication and the art market.

Practical note: the solo show is presented within MiArt as part of Paula Seegy Gallery's participation in the fair. For detailed opening times and access information, consult MiArt’s official program.
