Eidos Contemporary Images

ASTI, PIEMONTE

A contemporary art gallery dedicated to twentieth-century abstraction, from geometric composition to informal experimentation.

At a glance

Eidos Contemporary Images represents three decades of curatorial focus on historical abstraction. The gallery participates regularly in major national and European art fairs, expanding the reach of its program beyond its Asti location.

History

Founded in 1990 under the direction of Mario Soria, Eidos has operated continuously for more than thirty years. The gallery’s programming reflects a sustained commitment to the pioneering movements of twentieth-century modernism.

What you see

The gallery presents rotating exhibitions in a dedicated contemporary space. Works on display range across geometric abstraction and informal art, representing masters including Hartung, Mathieu, Albers, Vasarely, Bill, Francis, Rainer, Nitsch, Fontana, Scanavino, Matta, and others.

Cultural significance

Eidos functions as a scholarly platform for non-representational art. By focusing on both historical abstractionists and contemporary practitioners working in related idioms, the gallery maintains a bridge between post-war modernism and present-day practice.

Travel tips from CHO

Go on the first Sunday of the month

State museums, archaeological parks and monuments across Italy open free of charge on the first Sunday of every month. It covers state-run sites only — civic and private museums set their own prices — and there is nothing to claim: you simply walk in.

In September, the doors that are usually shut open

For one long weekend every September, some fifty European countries run the European Heritage Days together: palaces, workshops, archives and private houses that are closed the rest of the year let visitors in, almost always for nothing. Italy sets its own dates, and they are published a few weeks ahead.

Arrive already connected

Maps, opening hours and tickets all need data, and roaming outside your own network still costs more than the ticket. A travel eSIM for Italy installs on your phone before you leave home and works the moment you land — no queue at the airport, no physical card to swap.
