From March 27th to April 29th, work by the artist Julio Silva is on show in the “Di-segno Silv(a)estro” exhibition held at the Ugo Guidi Museum and Logos Hotel at Forte dei Marmi.
Born in Argentina in 1930, Julio Silva moved to Paris in 1955 where, along with the great protagonists of the visual arts, he met the writers Julio Cortázar and Saùl Yurkievich, with whom he formed a close collaboration.
His work includes drawings, paintings and monumental marble sculptures, such as “Pyègemalion” at Forum des Halles and Dame- Lune at Esplanade de la Défense in Paris.
