A curation by Flavio Scaloni, Gallery Manager at Galerie Lo Scalo - The egg is a universally resonant subject that offers artists immense creative potential, simultaneously representing fragility and strength, the mundane and the metaphysical. Symbolically, the egg is a potent motif for creation, birth, life, fertility, and renewal, and due to its perfect, self-contained shape, it often evokes philosophical ideas of the universe or cosmic origin. In Christian art, it is also a powerful symbol of the Resurrection. Psychologically, it can represent protection, potential, or the delicate boundary of the self. While historically present in still life painting, the egg gained new artistic significance in 20th-century and contemporary art. Salvador Dalí frequently used the egg in his Surrealist works, as seen atop the Dalí Theater and Museum, suggesting metamorphosis and purity. Post-1950, the egg was embraced for its simple, organic form in abstract and pop art. A notable modern work is Constantin Brancusi's sculpture The Beginning of the World (1920, frequently dated later), an iconic bronze or marble egg shape on a pedestal, emphasized perfect, primal form. The German photographer Wolfgang Tillmans explored the intimate everyday object in his minimalist still lives, capturing its simple beauty and light.
