Rare and unseen paintings from the late 1940s and early 1950s, a group of unknown abstract silver gelatin works, paintings for mural projects, drawings for costumes and the poster for the film Mr. Freedom, together with some of his most important photographs taken in New York, Paris, Rome, Tokyo and Moscow around the 1950s and some painted contacts. This exceptional group of early paintings and experiments gives a new perspective on his entire career and reveals an incredibly accomplished young artist: the foundations of his unique visual language are clearly seen as his trajectory is traced through painting, architecture, photography, books and film.
