Giorgio Morandi: Still Life: London

12 October - 29 November 2011
Overview

ROBILANT + VOENA is pleased to announce an exhibition of GIORGIO MORANDI Still lifes, curated in partnership with Galleria D’Arte Maggiore G.A.M., Bologna, opening 12 October through 29 November.

 

Featuring 14 paintings, 3 watercolours and 2 drawings, this will be a focused study on Giorgio Morandi’s key subject matter of the still life in its various incarnations. Shells, bottles, jugs, bowls, boxes and flowers are examined through the eyes of one of the most important Italian modern painters, whose work has inspired increasing critical and popular acclaim. This will be the first significant exhibition on the artist in London since the 2001 Tate Modern survey which contributed so vitally to his international prestige.  Accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue, with an introduction by Francesco Poli, this exhibition will present a unique opportunity to come close to masterworks by this influential ‘artist’s artist’, several of which are previously unseen works from private international collections.
