Provenance
Estate of Luigi Boille, Rome
Born in Pordenone, Italy in 1926, Luigi Boille was an Italian artist who trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome. After moving to Paris in 1950, he became associated with the nascent Art Informel movement, inspired by the writings of the influential French critic Michel Tapié. He was represented by the renowned Galerie Stadler in Paris for nearly 15 years, which he was the peak of his artistic output. His association with Stadler and Tapié paid huge dividends for Boille during the 1960s. He showed in important exhibitions ranging from North America to Asia. In 1964, together with Giuseppe Capogrossi, Enrico Castellani, and Lucio Fontana, he represented Italy at the Guggenheim International Award in New York. He also participated in the Quadriennale in Rome in 1965 and 2011, and had a solo presentation of paintings at the 33rd Venice Biennale of Art in 1966. Since the major retrospective Luoghi di luce, scritture del silenzio, held at the Musei di Villa Torlonia in Rome in 2019, Boille's work has been the subject of renewed interest by some of the most esteemed galleries in the world. Ronchini Gallery, London, presented a solo exhibition of his work at Frieze Masters 2021, followed in 2023 by a major exhibition held in London, Luigi Boille: Early Works. Earlier in the year, Boille was part of the seminal exhibition Roma/New York, 1953-1964, presented by David Zwirner in New York. That exhibition included some of the most significant names in 20th century art: Willem de Kooning, Philip Guston, Franz Kline, Robert Rauschenberg, Mark Tobey, and Cy Twombly, among others. Luigi Boille died in Rome in 2015. His work can be found in many significant public and private collections around the world, including the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington; the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art, Rome; MAM Paris; and MACRO, Rome.

Luigi Boille
Luigi Boille was born in Pordenone in 1926. He lived and studied in Rome, where he graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Architecture in 1950. He often traveled around Europe and, after a short stay in Holland, he settled in Paris in 1951, where he stayed until 1965. Today, he lives in Rome. Boille's purpose is to make a painting, only painting, possibly the purest painting. The career path of Boille is marked by three important meetings: Paris, and its cultural environment; meeting with Michel Tapie, who offered him an artistic adventure and professional insert into the French and international contexts; meeting with Giulio Carlo Argan, who led him to the conceptual essence of painting and its bond with Italian renewal. In these years, Boille's works fully take possession of matter, diluting colors with turpentine, inflaming them with gas, controlling the extension and intensity of the burn and the changes of color in contact with the flame. Sometimes, the artist had to bathe colors to avoid burning the burlap. Anyways, the study blackened, turning into what most resembles a spectacular Volcano cave.
