SYNOPSIS

In 2021, the Museum Art.Plus in Donaueschingen, Germany, dedicated a large exhibition to Flavio Paolucci, displaying paintings, engravings, sculptures and installations by the Ticino artist from Biasca. A large fresco measuring 3m50 by 6m50 was planned. The German museum reserved a white wall for him. Paolucci created a model as he always does for his exhibitions with precise measurements of the relevant points of the fresco. Everything was ready, but the pandemic prevented the 86-year-old artist from travelling and staying in Germany.
