About Rodolfo Aricò

Rodolfo Aricò (1930–2002) was an Italian painter, sculptor, graphic artist, and theatre set designer associated with post-war abstraction. Born in Milan, he trained at the Liceo Artistico di Brera from 1946 to 1950 before studying architecture at the Polytechnic and painting at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera through 1955. Aricò developed a distinctive abstract vocabulary that placed him among the notable figures of Italy's post-war art scene. His practice spanned painting, sculpture, and graphic work, and he also contributed set designs for the theatre. His work is documented in major library and art-history authority files including the Getty Union List of Artist Names, VIAF, the RKD Netherlands Institute for Art History, and the Library of Congress. Collectors encounter Aricò's work primarily through Italian and European post-war and contemporary art channels.
