Ugo Nespolo, born in Mosso (Biella, Italy), graduated from the Albertina Academy of Fine Arts in Turin and graduated in Modern Literature. His debut in the Italian artistic panorama dates back to the 1960s, to Pop Art, to conceptual and Poverist futures (exhibitions at Remo Pastori’s il Punto gallery in Turin and Galleria Schwarz in Milan). Never absolutely tied to one genre, his production is immediately characterized by an accentuated ironic, transgressive imprint, by a personal sense of fun that will always represent a sort of trademark. In the Seventies Nespolo took possession of experimental and artistic cinema, his second means of expression, with actors and friends like Lucio Fontana, Enrico Baj and Michelangelo Pistoletto. Cultural institutions such as the Center Georges Pompidou in Paris, the Philadelphia Museum of Modern Art, the Filmoteka Polska in Warsaw, the Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna in Ferrara, the National Cinema Museum in Turin and the Museo “Manege” of St. Petersburg have dedicated to him wide reviews.
