Washington DC, November 20, 2018 \u2013 A celebration of the contribution of women in the art.

As the Director of the Phillips Collection Dorothy Kosinksi emphasized in the catalog \u201cBice Lazzari is one of the most innovative female abstract painters of the 20th century. I\u2019m honored that the Phillips Collection can allow more and more people to admire her works.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBice Lazzari\u2019s artistic journey represents a precise and solitary search for new codes and new expressive forms and language,\u201d said Ambassador of Italy to the US Armando Varricchio during the event. He then added \u201cI\u2019m glad that this artist from Venice is obtaining a well-deserved recognition at international level, in the most prestigious art galleries from London to Washington DC.<\/p>\n
During his introduction Ambassador Varricchio also recalled that \u201cart is a fundamental instrument of communication and dialogue and an integral part of the bond uniting Italy and the US\u201d as testified by the presence at the event of officials from both the Italian and American administrations taking part in the inaugural meeting of the bilateral Strategic Dialogue, focused on security and stability in the Mediterranean, energy security and defense cooperation.<\/p>\n
