The exhibition at Galleria Appia Antica took place from the 3 - 15 April 1959 and was the second group show of the trio (the first was at Galleria del Prisma in Milan in February) in 1959. The text is by Leo Paolazzi, a poet and friend of Manzoni, who later used the pseudonym Antonio Porta. Manzoni's contribution to the catalogue is an untitled 'Achrome' from 1958.
'In the late 1950s, Agostino Bonalumi met fellow Milanese artists Enrico Castellani and Piero Manzoni. As each was interested in the artwork as a material entity, a close association developed between the three. The esteemed critic Gillo Dorfles coined the term 'pittura oggetto' to describe their work; building on Lucio Fontana’s conceptual innovations, they attended to the artwork as an object in its own right rather than as a strictly representational form.
