Starting from his studies and activity in the field of visual poetry in the late 1960s, Bonito Oliva established a relation among some of the most prominent artists of the second half of the 20th century who contributed to the definition of radical new avenues of research, such as, in the late 1970s, those connected to theItalian Transavanguardia, internationally referred to as “New Expressionism” in the 1980s. Bonito Oliva is known for having launched the neo expressionist art movements by presenting their works. at the ‘Aperto ‘80’ section of the Venice Biennale in 1980. Later, he also directed the overall 1993 edition of the famed Biennale of Venice.
