This summer, Museum Haus Konstruktiv is holding Switzerland’s first retrospective exhibition dedicated to Italian artist Salvatore Emblema (1929–2006, Terzigno). Paintings, sculptural objects and installations from his estate will be on display. With his language of forms, Salvatore Emblema produced a striking and archaic-looking oeuvre that cannot be attributed to any particular style, but nevertheless contains evident links to minimal art and arte povera.
