Toni Fabris was born on the 10 May 1915 at Bassano Del Grappa. He studied at the Liceo Artistico and the Accademia di Brera in Milan under Francesco Messina. In 1966 he was invited to show a group of his works at the 33rd Venice Biennial. In the same year, he was invited with five other Italian artists to exhibit at the Palazzo della Gran Guardia at Verona. All of the Fabris pieces in this sale were made in the 1970's and show a progression from his earlier more zoomorphic style into a more angular approach
