A year ago, during Lorenzo Mariani's personal exhibition - aka L'orMa - in the gallery, the VAF Foundation awarded him the first prize for Italian artists Under 40.

 

The German foundation, in addition to the acquisition of the winning works, plans a large traveling exhibition which has its beginning right at the Stadtgalerie in Kiel, where the Prize is awarded.

 

After the German stage, the exhibition continues on Italian soil, at the Estense Castle in Ferrara. We therefore invite you, from March 5 to June 4, to visit the rooms on the main floor which will host this prestigious event set up to support Italian contemporary art and boost the cultural exchange between Italy and Germany.

 

On display the nine protagonists of the 9th edition of the Prize: Luca Azzurro, Renata and Cristina Cosi, Silvia Inselvini, collective KEM, L'orMa, Enrico Minguzzi, Sebastiano Raimondo, Dario Tironi, Valeria Vaccaro.

The exhibition is also accompanied by a bilingual Italian-English catalog published by Manfredi Edizioni, which will be followed at the end of 2023 by a monographic publication on L'orMa's works.
