The Italian goldsmith of the Paduan School Giampaolo Babetto is famous for his jewelry - geometrically distinct shapes arranged into refined entities of extraordinary perfection and beauty. However, the artist's wide-ranging spectrum also includes furniture design, silverwork, sculptures, liturgical utensils, and architecture; even his design drawings possess an autonomous character and artistic value.

In addition to Christian iconography, his sources of inspiration include the fresco cycles of Renaissance artist Jacopo da Pontormo but also echo Minimalism, Neoplasticism, Neoconstructivism, and arte programmata/cinetica.

The Entity of Being presents the first overarching survey of the virtuoso Babetto. The comprehensive catalog section is complemented by four contributions that provide exciting insights into the work of this universal artist.
