A happy, awaited, misunderstood, hated, ambiguous, transgressive, infantile love that winds along an unconventional exhibition itinerary, characterized by visual and perceptive inputs.
Maya. The language of beauty
October 8, 2016 - March 5, 2017
Palace of the Gran Guardia, Verona
Maya. The language of beauty of Verona is one of the largest and most comprehensive exhibitions ever to have been produced internationally.
Starting from 8 October 2016 until 5 March 2017, the exhibition arrives at Palazzo della Gran Guardia with over 300 works from the main museums of Mexico.
Curated by Antonio Aimi and Karina Romero Blanco, the exhibition deals with the theme of the culture of this ancient people through the words and texts of the Maya themselves, using - as never happened in the past - the greatest anthropological revolution of the last century: the deciphering of their writing.
The exhibition offers a new, innovative and surprisingly current look at Mayan art starting from the identification of masters, schools and styles: finally one has the possibility of relating to the works through a historical-artistic reading and not just an archaeological one.
Maya. The language of beauty is an exhibition of the National Institute of Anthropology and History of Mexico (INAH), promoted by the Municipality of Verona with the support of AMO – Arena Museo Opera and is presented by Arthemisia Group and Kornice.
picasso. Figures (1895-1972)
October 15, 2016 - March 12, 2017
I LOVE Arena Opera Museum, Palazzo Forti, Verona
A work for each year of Pablo Picasso's life over the period from 1895 to the 70s: this is the absolute novelty of the great exhibition which will open at the AMO Arena Museo Opera in Verona on 15 October.
Works of painting, sculpture and graphic arts create a path capable of narrating the metamorphosis to which the artist subjects the representation of the human body, while his art goes through the phases of pre-Cubism, Cubism, the Classical age and Surrealism , up to the post-war years, overcoming the barriers and categories of "portrait" and "genre scene" to always arrive at a new concept of "figure": the one that made Picasso the builder and destroyer of an art at the same time only his, with an inexhaustible charm.
With the patronage of the Municipality of Verona, the exhibition Picasso. Figure (1895-1972) is organized by Arthemisia Group in collaboration with the Musée national Picasso – Paris and is curated by Emilie Bouvard, curator of the Musée national Picasso.
Antonio Ligabue
11 November 2016 - 8 January 2017
Vittoriano complex – Ala Brasini, Rome
From 11 November 2016 to 8 January 2017 the rooms of the Complesso del Vittoriano – Ala Brasini in Rome welcome the exhibition Antonio Ligabue (1899-1965): an exhibition entirely dedicated to the tormented genius, originally from German-speaking Switzerland, but who in Gualtieri, on the banks of the Po, he lived until his death, after being expelled from his native country in 1919. Self-taught, thanks to an extraordinary vision and capacity for transfiguration, he reached that pictorial dimension of a tragic expressionist, profoundly human and imbued with a visceral sensitivity that earned him the conquest of his own identity and, after hardships and ostracisms, the recognition of art enthusiasts and historians.
Through about 100 works, the exhibition offers a historical and critical excursus on the relevance of the work of Ligabue who today represents one of the most interesting figures of twentieth-century art.
Among the oils exhibited Carriage with horses and Swiss landscape (1956-1957), Table with vase of flowers (1956) and Gorilla with woman (1957-1958), alongside bronze sculptures such as Lioness (1952-1962) and Siberian Wolf ( 1936).
Also on display is a section dedicated to graphic production with drawings and engravings such as Mammuth (1952-1962), Sulki (1952-1962) and Self-portrait with jockey cap (1962) and a section on his incredible human story.
The exhibition, promoted by the Antonio Ligabue di Gualtieri Museum Foundation, is curated by Sandro Parmiggiani, director of the same Foundation and by Sergio Negri, president of the scientific committee, with the general organization of Arthemisia Group and COR Create-organize-create.
