Galleria dell'Ariete

The Galleria dell'Ariete was opened and directed by Beatrice Monti in Milan from 1955 to 1977. The art gallery was founded on the idea of showing young, living artists from Italy, Europe, and later Japan in one space. It became the foremost Italian gallery in postwar art, and became part of a small network of galleries, dealers, collectors, and critics in Milan, Turin, Paris, New York, and Tokyo in the late 1950s and 1960s. In 1970 the gallery extended its operations by opening the Ariete Grafica, an adjacent gallery that commissioned editions of artists prints and hosted a series of European and North American graphic art exhibitions.
