Paolo Bolpagni (born 1979 in Brescia) is an Italian art historian, critic and curator.

Biography

Paolo Bolpagni teaches contemporary art history at the Università degli Studi eCampus. He has also taught at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (UCSC). He is the director of the museum Collezione Paolo VI - arte contemporanea[1] and the Foundation Centro Studi sull'Arte Licia e Carlo Ludovico Ragghianti in Lucca.[2] He won the Sulmona Prize for Art History in 2013.[3]

Historic and artistic research

The Bolpagni production aims to study artists and important art movements, as the Avanti della Domenica, an early-20th-century weekly journal, run by Vittorio Piva, which has had its covers created by artists like Mario Sironi, Gino Severini, Umberto Boccioni; Mario Ballocco and the Gruppo Origine (together with Alberto Burri, Giuseppe Capogrossi and Ettore Colla); the innovative transmedia research of Luigi Veronesi; the Wagnerism phenomenon in visual arts between late 19th and early 20th century; the visual and iconic component of the scores of the neo-avant-gardes. He is also recognized for his research concerning abstractionism, art, and design in post-war Italy, and his studies concern also Paul Klee, Lucio Fontana, François Morellet, painting between the two World Wars, and the history of art criticism and architecture.

Art Criticism and new media

Bolpagni is also an art critic. He has presented or organized exhibitions for contemporary artists such as Mirco Marchelli, Raul Gabriel, Gabriella Benedini, Kengiro Azuma, Umberto Mariani, Nelio Sonego, Filippo Minelli, Aliza Olmert, Giuliano Giuman, Nicola Evangelisti, Margherita Serra, Josh Hadar, and Günter Umberg. He has also overseen exhibitions and catalogs for a group of young artists (GAC - Giovane Arte Contemporanea). He created together with Silvia Cascio and Simone Agnetti the YouTube Channel "Regola d'arte",[4] in which Bolpagni presents contemporary art, artists, movements and trends in three-minute videos.[5]
