Iommi

Iommi was born in Rosario, Argentina, in 1937. He studied with sculptor Enrico Forni before he became enchanted with the abstract painting of Alfredo Hlito.

In 1945 Iommi joined the AssociaciÛn Arte Concreto-InvenciÛn and participated in their first exhibition in 1946. He was introduced to the works of Vantongerloo and Max Bill by Tomas Maldonado and Claudio Girola and joined the Grupo de Artistas Modernos in Buenos Aires. In 1953 he created a monumental sculpture for LeCubusier’s Casa Curuchet in Buenos Aires.

Iommi has exhibited throughout Europe and in New York as well as in South America. He is one of the most important abstract sculptors of his generation and is noted for the airiness of his sculptures.

MADI is a great artistic adventure, and perhaps, the only existing movement which can justify half a century of existence. MADI is more than an avant-garde movement; it has an underlying wave with several and differing offspring. It is the slow-paced growth of a tectonic plate in the history of art. Indeed, since art and environment are perveived as the fusion of two cultural phenomena, the progression and expression of both of these blend in everyday life.
