Description:  Despite the fact that the works of the Italian artist Gianni Colombo, who died in 1993 (born 1937 in Milan), were already being exhibited in the 1960s in internationally renowned group exhibitions such as "documenta 4" in Kassel, or the Biennale di Venezia, his œuvre has hardly ever been comprehensively presented and to this day – sixteen years after his death – remains an insider tip. This is all the more astonishing, as Colombo significantly extended the concept of image and object, transporting it into environments (large-scale installations that incorporate the surrounding environment and create an environment them- selves) which are as breathtaking as they are subtle. As of 1967, Colombo referred to these as "Ambienti". Gianni Colombo's works bear witness to an artistically versatile intellect: they possess a playful lightness, are based on intellectually acute compositions, yet at the same time enable an intensive sensory experience
