Vittorio Osvaldo Tommasini

Rare catalogue of the solo exhibition of futurist painter and poet Farfa (Vittorio Osvaldo Tommasini, 1879-1964), held at the Galleria Blu in Milan in February 1959. Cover with characteristic design of organic red stain and futurist lettering in black. Copy enhanced by an autograph dedication by the artist to Milena Milani, a central figure in Italian postwar avant-garde, writer and companion of Lucio Fontana, dated March 4, 1964, a few months before the artist's death. The dedication reads: 'to Milena Milani who always expresses what she feels'. Significant document for the history of second Futurism and for the network of relationships between the last futurists and the Milanese spatialist movement.
