I n post-war Italy, a generation of artists redefined the boundaries of contemporary art. Rejecting tradition, they experimented with slashing, burning, and layering—pushing beyond the limits of the canvas to explore space, form, and material in radical new ways.
Sotheby’s presents Beyond the Canvas: Pioneers of Italian Art from the Levett Collection—15 groundbreaking works from a movement that reshaped modern art, exhibited together for the first time.
This rare offering captures the raw energy and innovation that propelled Italian art onto the global stage—a chance to own a piece of art history and engage with the forces that broke convention and reimagined artistic expression. The Contemporary Day Auction takes place at Sotheby's London on 5 March.
