Biography 1998
In February, his work inaugurates the Saletta dArte Vianzone in Turin with 20 works of the Omaggio a Botero series. The exhibition Logogrifi 1966-1988, held at the Galleria Zonca & Zonca in Milan, is introduced by Annalisa Cima. He takes part in the joint exhibition 14 Artisti del gruppo Art Autre held at the Fondazione Over Studio in Turin and the Dipinti di piccolo formato exhibition at the Saletta darte Vianzone in Turin. In October, at the Buenos Aires Centro Cultural Recoleta, he exhibits Metalogrifos 1960-1998. This is the very first of his exhibitions in Argentina and the catalogue is introduced by Vanni Scheiwiller with these words: To me, Gribaudo represents Italian non-figurative painting in the Sixties after his exhibitions at the historic galleries of La Bussola in Turin, the Cavallino in Venice and Carlo Cardazzos Naviglio in Milan, but mainly the Arturo Schwarz Gallery, where he exibited his first metallogrifi. After practically thirty years, what convinced me then and I reconfirm today, is the excellence and elegance of his logogrifi. The exhibition was subsequently hosted (May-June 1999) at the Centro Cultural Auditorium in Mar del Plata, then in Cordoba at the Cabildo Histórico and finally at the Museo Municipal de Artes Visuales in Rosario de Santa Fé, sponsored by the Buenos Aires Istituto Italiano di Cultura as well as the Italian Consolate.
