After an early attempt at figurative painting, the Italian artist Alberto Moretti joined a group of young abstract artists who founded the Arte d’oggi (Art Today) group in 1947. Moretti later turned towards geometric abstraction and took part in the group’s most important exhibition, the III International Art Today Exhibition held at Palazzo Strozzi in June 1949. In 1953 he participated in numerous exhibitions in Rome and Turin, including the Franco-Italian Art exhibition and the International Exhibition of Abstract Art in Rome. In the early 1960s, he was back working in Florence, later moving to New York for two years where he was introduced to Pop Art. The 1970s found him back in Florence and in 1978 he showed at the XXXVIII Venice Biennale with a solo exhibition entitled “Alberto Moretti: Ideologia come techne”. In the 1980s, he renewed his interest in experimenting with materials, reintroducing large, informal works.
