ABSTRACT

Founded in Rome in 1961, Continuità included Carla Accardi, Pietro Consagra, Piero Dorazio, Gastone Novelli, Achille Perilli and Giulio Turcato among its founder members. Some had previously been members of Forma, founded in 1947 to promote abstract art. The original members were soon joined by Lucio Fontana, Arnaldo and Giò Pomodoro and the art critic Giulio Carlo Argan, who became the group’s main spokesman.
