The exhibition of recent paintings by Valerio Adami, organised by the Galleria Schwarz in Milan from 6 October to 5 November 1966, marks an interesting stage in the work of this young Italian artist, whom "Metro" has already mentioned on a number of occasions.
... Adami adores mechanisms (...), he made use of photographs of banal news items that would, however, trigger very personal and intimate reactions, just as it happens in reality.
Bruno Alfieri, “Appunti sulle cose recenti di Valerio Adami e incitamento a superare le contemplazioni surreali ed a proseguire l’interessante creazione linguistica”, 1966
