L'Alibi dell'Oggetto. Morandi e gli Sviluppi della Natura Morta in Italia

The exhibition looks into the "Italian way of the still life" through 120 works of the main Italian artists, from the fifties to nowadays. The still life has lived in the XX century a new season of development, and that's the reason of the today interest, finding in it an artistic, more than aesthetic justification, in a cultural background much more different than 50 years ago Referring to the "still life", it's impossible to disregard Morandi's work, the anchor which this study starts from, to reach very differentiated and even unexpected outcomes. The hearth of the exhibition will be made up of 33 works of the Bolognese artist, all from fifties and sixties, opening the way to the more recent researches, from Filippo de Pisis to Alberto Burri, Afro, Fausto Melotti, from Lucio fontana to Jannis Kounellis , from Renato Guttuso to Mimmo Rotella, from Piero Manzoni to Michelangelo Pistoletto and Claudio Parmiggiani, to Piero Pizzi Cannella, Luca Pignatelli, Luca Caccioni towards to younger generations.
