Gaetano Pesce's works are full of color, fun, and self-irony but, at the same time, many of them also become political and social symbols. Above all, the Up armchairs that, inspired by the forms of women and abundance, become emblems of feminist struggles. Born in Liguria, educated in Venice and famous all over the world, Pesce works between New York, Paris and Italy.
Considered one of the most famous Italian and international designers, Gaetano Pesce was born in La Spezia on November 8, 1939, he studied architecture at the IUAV in Venice, at a time when personalities such as Carlo Scarpa and Ernesto Nathan Rogers, among the founders of the BBPR studio, taught there. In the same city, Pesce attended the Institute of Industrial Design. Together with some students from the Venice campus, in 1959 he joined the EnnaA Group, founded in Padua: with him there were Tino Bertoldo, Alberto Biasi, Tolo Custoza, Sara Ivanoff, Bruno Limena, Manfredo Massironi, Milla Muffato and Gianfilippo Pecchini, but the collective experience was short-lived, as the group disbanded in 1960. Gaetano Pesce soon after became one of the major exponents of Radical Design, one of the most famous Italian stylistic currents that was also successful abroad, and divided his time between design and sculpture.
In 1983 he moved to New York, a metropolis where he worked and founded the company Fish Design di Gaetano Pesce. In 1996 a retrospective was dedicated to him in Paris, at the Centre Georges Pompidou, while his works are exhibited in the major museums of the world, including the MoMA, the Met and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
Gaetano Pesce's works were recently exhibited in Genoa as part of the exhibition entitled In memoria di un amico, a widespread exhibition featuring large sculptures placed around the city, along with an important anthological installation at Villa Croce. The project was born from the collaboration between the Municipality of Genoa and Studio Pesce of New York: the outdoor sculptures were located in Piazza Fontane Marose and Piazza Matteotti, where they remained from September 24, 2021 to January 9, 2022, in memory of Germano Celant.
Gaetano Pesce's works are divided into design projects, sculptures and small artifacts, such as vases and jewelry. Active from the late 1960s to today, Pesce is one of the most prolific and experimental Italian artists, designers and architects, also appreciated abroad. Here are his creations.
