In his multifaceted painterly work, Marco Gastini (1938–2018) succeeded in breaking away from the classical rectangular picture format and expanding into three-dimensional space. Interacting and overlapping picture planes create dynamic structures that extend beyond the edges of the composition.

In 1982, Gastini represented the Italian contribution at the Venice Biennale. His work has been celebrated in numerous European museum exhibitions, with his largest retrospective presented by the Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus Munich in 2001. His most comprehensive catalog in German was published by Kunsthalle Göppingen in 2005.

Recent significant exhibitions include “Nel Volo… Attorno” in 2018 at the Galleria dello Scudo in Verona and “Marco Gastini” in 2019 at the Galleria Giorgio Persano in Turin. In 2022, Gastini was honored with a retrospective by the Otto Gallery in Bologna, curated in collaboration with the Archivio Marco Gastini.

Since the beginning of our gallery activities in 1977, we have worked closely with Marco Gastini, organizing several solo exhibitions for him and representing him exclusively in Germany.
