We have received many complaints from clients who have purchased prints online, at reduced prices. Often, these prints are defective, damaged, unsigned, or even reproductions passed off as original prints. Please be wary, and do your research before you buy.

These problems can be avoided by contacting dealers authorized by the artist, such as Pasquale Iannetti Art Galleries, or by contacting the Studio directly. The Marco Sassone Studio can often locate pieces that are rare or sold out.

Marco Sassone: Toronto


Consul General of Italy Veronica Ferrucci and Consul General of the United States Claudia Baker are attending the reception for artist Marco Sassone at Odon Wagner Contemporary, Thursday April 3 from 6 to 9 pm. Also attending the opening are representatives from Toronto City Hall.

This new series of work, Toronto, portrays the urban landscape of the city that first engaged the artist’s imagination when he moved here from California. Attracted always by space Sassone paints these cityscapes from high-rise vantage points and from a street perspective, characterized by converging lines that visually pull the viewer into the work. Jonathan Goodman, art critic for Art in America, writes for the exhibition catalogue, “The painter remains a visionary, describing tall buildings and merging highways as he forges a rapport with Toronto. Sassone is profoundly interested in rendering a nearly mythic ambience, whose experience borders on the sublime.”
