XXVIII BIENNALE DI VENEZIA | 1956 | ESPOS. INTERN. D'ARTE

The catalogue for the XXVIII Esposizione Internazionale d’Arte di Venezia (Venice, June 16 - October 21, 1956) is a substantial illustrated volume that documents one of the key post-war editions of the Biennale di Venezia. It presents detailed lists of participants, award winners, national pavilions, and exhibited works, interwoven with historical framing of the moment’s international art-scene dynamics, including modernist and abstract tendencies, emerging non-Western artists, and expanding global representation. The book thus serves as both an archival record and a scholarly resource for the study of mid-20th-century art exhibitions, offering insight into the evolution of the biennale format and its role in shaping art history in the Cold-War era.
