The catalogue raisonné of Alberto Abate (1946-2012) constitutes a new overview of his entire career. It analyzes the mythological themes that distinguish his 1980s paintings, his symbolic works of the 1990s and beyond, creating a dialogue between figures and geometric forms in a consolidated Cubist-Futurist and Neoconstructivist tradition.
