Vortici: Alexi Worth in dialogo con la ceramica

The Gallerie d'Italia in Naples, from 3 April to 5 July 2026, present the exhibition “Vortici. Alexi Worth in dialogo con la ceramica", curated by Silvia Gaspardo Moro and Richard Neer: an unprecedented exchange between the Attic and Magna Graecia pottery from the Intesa Sanpaolo Collection and the contemporary art of American artist Alexi Worth. 

Nine paintings by Alexi Worth, exhibiting his work in Italy for the first time, share the galleries of the Gallerie d’Italia with three krater vases and one hydria from the Caputi Collection, a historic 19th century archaeological collection that is now part of Intesa Sanpaolo's artistic heritage, selected by Richard Neer, Professor of Art History at the University of Chicago, in a reflection spanning history on the theme of the symposium and the rituals of drinking.

Alexi Worth presents images “crafted by the mind and the hand”.  With a distinctly precise and concise style, Worth presents enigmatic reinterpretations of ordinary things: most recently, wine glasses, hands and leaves. Featuring subtly unusual surfaces and perspectives, Worth’s art stands out for its simplicity, suggesting an effort to restore the contemplative power of abstraction to figurative art.
