Conceptual artist and painter - but also poet, writer, playwright and director - Emilio Isgrò (Barcellona di Sicilia, 1937) is one of the most internationally known names of Italian art between the 20th and 21st centuries. Since the 1960s, Isgrò has created one of the most revolutionary and original works, which earned him several participations in the Venice Biennale (1972, 1978, 1986, 1993) and the first prize at the San Paolo Biennale ( 1977). Emilio Isgrò from 1956 to today lives and works in Milan, except for a parenthesis in Venice (1960-1967) as head of the cultural pages of the Gazzettino.
