The show

In the Metropolitan Art Gallery “C. Giaquinto” in Bari, the exhibition “Alfredo Bortoluzzi from the Bauhaus to Puglia. Works on paper from the Foundation (1924-1995)” promoted by the Metropolitan City of Bari with the Monti Uniti Foundation of Foggia which in 2010 acquired the heritage of 630 works by the artist.

The metropolitan mayor, Antonio Decaro , the councilor responsible for cultural heritage, Francesca Pietroforte , the curator of the exhibition, Gianfranco Piemontese and the manager of the Cultural Heritage and Ico Service, Francesco Lombardo, will intervene.


The exhibition aims to highlight the human and artistic story of one of the three Italians who attended the Bauhaus, read through an anthology of engravings, graphics, paintings and vintage photographs. Bortoluzzi (Karlsruhe 1905 – Peschici 1995), born in Germany and pupil of Kandinsky and Klee, in the 1950s chose Puglia, in particular the city of Peschici, as a retreat for the last forty years of his life. The light and colors of Peschici, in fact, contributed to fueling a series of inner correspondences in the artist, inspired by the force of nature, the hospitality of the people and the Mediterranean energy of the Gargano.


The exhibition offers an anthology of original works that trace the artistic career of Bortoluzzi from the years of his training at the Dessau school, including his activity as a dancer and choreographer, up to the 1950s, when he arrived in Puglia and resumed his pictorial activity. bringing to maturity his expressive registers and his poetic language. The exhibition will be inaugurated on Saturday 10 December , at 18.00 , and will remain open until 28 January 2023.
