All the isms of Armando Testa: a major anthological exhibition in Turin pays homage to one of the most celebrated creatives of the 20th century


From October 25, 2018 to February 24, 2019, the Royal Museums of Turin are dedicating a major anthological exhibition to Armando Testa.

The Sale Chiablese of the Royal Museums of Turin are hosting from October 25, 2018 to February 24, 2019 the anthological exhibition dedicated to Armando Testa, entitled"All the ’isms’ of Armando Testa."

The exhibition presents to the public theentire artistic career of one of the greatest Italian creatives of the 20th century through a selection of more than one hundred works including posters, drawings, videos, paintings, sculptures, photographs and design objects created between the 1940s and the 1990s.



Along the exhibition route, visitors will recognize some of the advertising subjects that belong to the collective imagination, such as Caballero and Carmencita, theblue hippopotamus Goofy, and Punt e Mes.

Armando Testa was an innovator since he was among the first to create a contamination between art and advertising.

The anthological exhibition is curated by Gemma De Angelis Testa and Gianfranco Maraniello, director of the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Trento and Rovereto.

The exhibition was also mounted last year at the Mart in Rovereto.
