Osart Gallery

Founded in 2008 in Milan. Contemporary African Art - Sixties and Seventies Conceptual & Minimal Art. Osart Gallery was founded in 2008 by Andrea Sirio Ortolani.

Since its debut, Osart Gallery has focused on the Sixties and Seventies, exploring the most influential and innovative experiences belonging to this period. The gallery focused on the leading figures of Conceptual Art, Body Art, Kinetic Art, and photography, such as Dennis Oppenheim, Vito Acconci, Vincenzo Agnetti, Gina Pane, Emilio Prini, Piero Fogliati, Minor White, Aldo Tagliaferro, Magdalo Mus

sio, and Amelia Etlinger, recently rediscovered by critics. Osart made significant insights on painting in the second half of the XXI century, thanks to the solo show dedicated to Claudio Olivieri (2017-2018) and the group show with Phil Sims, Ruth Ann Fredenthal, and Winston Roeth in 2017. During the years, the gallery has built significant connections with several artists in Italy and abroad. Represented artists include Vincenzo Agnetti, Amelia Etlinger, Piero Fogliati, Ruth Ann Fredenthal, Claudio Olivieri, Winston Roeth, and Phil Sims. The gallery collaborates with public institutions and museums in the promotion of the represented artists. Since the very first years, Osart had an eye on the contemporary art scene: was able to understand ahead of time the quality of artists like Titus Kaphar (to whom the gallery dedicated a solo show in 2009), Lynette Yadom-Boakye, and Hayv Kahraman, whose works were exhibited at Osart in 2010. The Gallery is currently exploring new horizons with a special eye on African emerging artists. The latest group shows include African Textures (2019-2020 with works by Marlene Steyn, Jeanne Gaigher, and Kresiah Mukwazhi), and African Characters (2020, with works by Kate Gottgens, Kudzanai-Violet Hwami, Neo Matloga, Richard Mudariki, and Gareth Nyandoro). During the years the gallery collaborated with many art critics: among all Daniela Palazzoli, Alberto Zanchetta, Nicolas Ballario, Valerio Dehò, Giorgio Verzotti, and Bruno Corà.

Ugo Celada da Virgilio's (1895-1995) official debut came at the 1920 Venice Biennale with La Sera, where his canvases, marked by an obsessive, almost photographic realism, enchanted critics and audiences alike. His work, often likened to that of Cagnaccio di San Pietro and Antonio Donghi, was celebrated for its meticulous detail and luminous quality. Émile Bernard, the eminent French painter and critic, hailed him in 1926 as the greatest Italian painter of his time.

'Untitled' from the 1940s is now on view for , our Summer exhibition running until August 1st.

🗓Running until May 30th
Opening hours: Mon/Fry 10am-1pm / 2:30pm-7pm

In her practice Msezane processes her dreams as a medium through a lens of the plurality of existence across space and time, asking questions about the remembrance of ancestry.
Part of her work has examined the processes of mythmaking which are used to construct history, calling attention to the absence of the black female body in both the narratives and physical spaces
of historical commemoration.

Our Story

Osart Gallery nasce nei primi mesi del 2008 da un'idea di Andrea Sirio Ortolani. La Galleria propone un lavoro di ricerca sull'arte concettuale degli anni 60-70. Essa, attraverso un'accurata selezione trasversale, sia a livello italiano che internazionale, ha cominciato un lavoro di riscoperta e di valorizzazione di artisti che hanno segnato la storia dell'arte attraverso la proposizione di tematiche e linguaggi innovativi. L'Osart Gallery ha avuto la possibilità in questo breve arco temporale di presentare opere storiche tra le più significative di artisti quali: Vito Acconci, Vincenzo Agnetti, Shusaku Arakawa, Antonio Dias, Ketty La Rocca, Duane Michals, Claudio Parmiggiani, Aldo Tagliaferro, Franco Vaccari, Michele Zaza. D'altra parte si impegna nella selezione di giovani artisti, attraverso un continuo studio del panorama internazionale. La volontà della Galleria è infatti quella di ricercare ed introdurre in Italia artisti di qualità attraverso la realizzazione di progetti seri e selezionati. Osart Gallery, anche grazie alla collaborazione di critici di fama internazionale, ha scelto di sviluppare annualmente un numero molto limitato di mostre di arte contemporanea così da poter proporre le migliori novità agli appassionati.
