Babetto: The Entity of Being

Giampaolo Babetto, 2022

Overview

Giampaolo Babetto, an Italian goldsmith associated with the "Paduan School," is renowned for his geometrically distinct jewelry. His artistic output extends beyond jewelry to encompass furniture design, silverwork, sculptures, liturgical objects, and architecture. Even his design drawings are recognized for their independent artistic merit. Babetto draws inspiration from Christian iconography and Renaissance artist Jacopo da Pontormo, while also reflecting influences from Minimalism, Neoplasticism, Neoconstructivism, and "arte programmata/cinetica." This volume offers the first comprehensive survey of Babetto's virtuoso work, featuring a detailed catalog and four insightful contributions.
