Gino De Dominicis (1947-1998) is one of the most emblematic and mysterious figures on the post war Italian art scene. A complex and elusive artist, Gino De Dominicis (1947-1998) is considered one of the key figures in contemporary Italian art and a reference point for both the artists of his time and younger generations. His life has always been shrouded in mystery. He chose to stay outside the sphere of media communications and due to this intransigent position no catalogues or books on his works were published. This catalogue brings together more than 700 artworks, each one accompanied by a dossier which, alongside the usual technical data, provides information regarding the circumstances that led to the work's creation. It also includes a section devoted to the artist's writings, a critical anthology and a general catalogue of his works.
