of the 60’s even though Ascoli Piceno was going through a lively cultural
season, it didn’t have a museum that represented artist of the 19th century.
To try and fill
this rather empty space Ernesto Ercolani, painter and already director of the
art gallery since 1949, set up a collection of contemporary art limited only to
graphics: The Civica Galleria d’Arte Grafica Moderna opened in the 15th
century rooms of the building of Malaspina.
The intentions
to extend the gallery to other forms of modern art was always in the minds of
the curators but it was only in 1977 the graphic art gallery became the Civica
Galleria d’Arte Contemporanea.
At the end of
the 90’s among numerous artists such as Fontana, Matta, hartung, Morandi, De
Pisis e Severini, 40 paintings and 38 drawing of Osvaldo Licini from the
collection of caterina Celi Hellstrom adopted daughter of the wife of Osvaldo
Licini were to become part of the art gallery’s patrimony.
With this
prestigious collection the Gallery Osvaldo Licini moves to the
convent S.Agostino and its name is dedicated to the great artist and
Maestro of Monte Vidon Corrado, whose tormented creative path from figurative
to abstract is possible to visit in this gallery.
In 2007 the
gallery becomes richer (thanks to grants by the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio
of Ascoli Piceno) of 50 preparer designs, done in 1988 by Tullio Pericoli for
the decoration of the Sala Garzanti of Milano.
