“There is no doubt that Valerio Adami is an intellectual. It is easily understood: one only has to see how much he has written and how he likes to write. Not to mention how he has surrounded himself with a circle of friends who for many years have been the mainstay of the European intelligentsian abd how he has promoted interdisciplinary and multilingual meetings with the aimod creating a kind of “republic of the best” (a courageous ambition in this period marked by the delegitimizationof elites) or, at least, the recognition of a “tribe of equals’, scattered throughout the world.“
Marci Meneguzzo
Palazzo Reale presents Pittore d’Idee, Valerio Adami’s solo show curated by Marco Meneguzzo, that celebrates sixty-five years of research. Behind straightforward images is hidden a more complex narrative: the Adami’s artworks are rich in sophisticated visual metaphors, and they include philosophical, literary and mythological concepts, representing the evolution of ideas through the European and Western thought.
