Vittore Frattini

Born in 1937 in Varese, Lombardy, Vittore Frattini first encountered sculpture in his father’s atelier and continued his passion at the prestigious Accademia di Brera. His first solo exhibit in 1957 prompted both national and international retrospectives on an expansive body of work that has since appeared in numerous publications. Throughout his career, Frattini has made a simple line the cornerstone of his aesthetic, creating expressive pieces of complex artistic value, distinctive for their unique use of color, the essential harmony, and elegance. His works are present in private and public collections, and a large sculpture built-in 2002 welcomes passengers at the exit of Malpensa Airport. The larger form has a vertical thrust which is emphasized by the bands of color which enrich it. The airport is the means for going way up on high; for being over the earth towards the sky.
