“...In his long career, that started so early and led him to identify so closely with the world of art, Claudio Abate has contributed, and continues to contribute, to establish the idea of the photographer as someone beyond notions of neutrality and whose declared partiality is plain to all. Since the beginning of his career as a photographer, he has always chosen to observe the most extreme sites of the avant-Garde, without ever settling within the cosy embrace to follow the authoritative trajectories of established art. Without doubt, Abate has engaged in a creative role as photographer, in a theater of bias, choosing a kind of short-circuit, as it were, made possible only by his own intuition and dialogue with the artist. Abate proposes a more personal quest, unfettered by preconceived judgment and anchored instead by a sense of solidarity with the artist and close observation of the work to be photographed...”
