Michelangelo Pistoletto: St. Moritz

This exhibition was organised by Robilant+Voena.

Robilant+Voena, in collaboration with Galleria Continua, is pleased to announce an exhibition of new works by Michelangelo Pistoletto, for the gallery’s winter exhibition in St. Moritz. This is the first solo exhibition by the Nobel Peace Prize-nominated artist in St. Moritz, with works being produced specially for the ambient space of the Protestant Church in the centre of the Swiss alpine town.

The exhibition will feature five large mirror works from the series Color and Light, one from Black and Light, and one small silkscreen print on steel. The latter depicts a hand with outstretched index finger, reminiscent of the Creation of Adam from the Sistine Chapel; its position near the altar of the church enhances the meditative and devotional essence of the space.

Robilant+Voena’s exhibition presents six large mirror works by Pistoletto, composed of interlocking sections of black and white mirror and colourful jute, encapsulating the playful abstraction that embodies his current practice. Through the multiple reflective surfaces, the viewer and the church become integral to a perpetually changing exhibition experience, often shifting perspectives as the space and its visitors are continuously reflected.
