Angelo Froglia is one of the most popular and richest Painter who was born on March 23, 1955 in Livorno, Tuscany, Italy.
Angelo Froglia was born in Livorno. He attended the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence. In 1971 he returned to Livorno where he rented a studio and started painting. In 1974 he participated to the 10th edition of the Rome Quadriennale. In 1977, during the Years of Lead, he took part in the armed struggle and ended up in jail. He was released in 1981 and moved back to Livorno where he resumed painting.
In 1984 Froglia sculpted a false Modigliani’s head and threw it in the town’s canal. The sculpture was initially deemed as authentic before Froglia and others exposed the hoax. Froglia also made a video about the event entitled “Peitho e Apate … della persuasione e dell’inganno (Cherchez Modi)” and was given an award at the Turin Film Festival in 1984. From 1985 he produced a great number of paintings and organised exhibitions in Italy and abroad, although his health was undermined by an excessive use of recreational drugs. Although Froglia never considered his role in the Modigliani scandal as a “hoax” but rather as an artistic performance, he grew tired of being associated with it. Shortly before his death, Froglia told his friend and art critic Massimo Carboni that, “Time does not count, I work within my possibilities. The important thing is the conviction that you put into it.”
