Armando Baldinelli - Alberty Werth FINE ART, Painting

The first book on Baldinelli, with an introduction by Umbro Apollonio, well-known international art critic and Curator of the Venice Beinnale, was published in Rome in 1964. This publication records a representative selection of Baldinellis works in different media, tracing his development from the period 1960 to 1974.
