The book is devoted to De America, a series of some fifty paintings on paper and canvas created by
Emilio Vedova in Venice between 1976 and 1977.
After the war, New York encouraged a dialogue between
American Abstract Expressionism and European art activities. It happened between Venice and America,
too. Industrious collectors came to Venice to acquire the best proposals of the time and the Biennale also
oundertook an intense activity of promotion in South American countries.
This exhaustive catalogue offers a chance to reconstruct the steps of an “American” itinerary in which Vedova’s painting was influenced by the radical transformations that, above all in the 1960s and 1970s, deeply
affected the country’s social context.
• A volume on the artist’s experience in the USA.
