Rare, Signed, 1992, Carlo Carosso, Exhibition Catalogue, Original Full-Page Drawing, Antinor Gallery Athens

Description

Rare signed first edition exhibition catalogue of Carlo Carosso, published by Antinor Gallery, Athens, in 1992.

This beautifully produced volume is hand-signed and inscribed by the artist, featuring a unique full-page original drawing and a personal dedication to the noted Greek author Lia Hatzopoulou-Karavia. A true collector’s piece that bridges literature and fine art.

Carosso (1953–2007) was an Italian painter and sculptor of Greek-Italian heritage, known for his richly expressive, mythologically inspired works. His art blends the classical iconography of Magna Graecia with the earthy vitality of Monferrato, often centered around the symbolic figure of Bacchus. A close friend of poet Giannis Ritsos, Carosso illustrated several of his works and was widely celebrated for his vivid tones and “Dionysian” aesthetic.

This catalogue documents Carosso’s 1992–1993 exhibition at the Antinor Gallery in Athens, offering not only a rare signed copy but a unique hand-drawn artwork, making it a singular item of artistic and historical value.

About the Artist

Carlo Carosso (1953–2007) was a distinguished Italian painter and sculptor whose dual Greek-Italian heritage profoundly influenced his art. Exhibiting internationally since the 1970s (Turin, Biarritz, Paris), Carosso combined classical mythology and modern Mediterranean sensibility to create works that are both timeless and emotionally charged. His artistic identity, rooted in Dionysian symbolism and rural tradition, continues to captivate collectors across Europe.
