Over 100 works including large
installations, sculptures, paintings, photographs and works on
paper by prominent Italian and foreign artists will bring a
fresh look to the archaeological site of the ancient Palatine
Hill.
The exhibition opens on Wednesday and will run through
October 29.
It is one of the most highly anticipated exhibitions on the
contemporary art calendar.
Artists whose works will be exhibited include: Marina
Abramovic, Gino De Dominicis, Marcel Duchamp, Gilbert & George,
Michelangelo Pistoletto, Mario Schifano, Mario Airò, Maurizio
Cattelan and Vedovamazzei.
In addition to bringing together different generations,the
exhibition - entitled 'From Duchamp to Cattelan. Contemporary
Art on the Palatine' - is meant to restore links between the
Capitoline site, the city and its public.
The show has been able to bring a selection of works kept in
the Alt Museum, founded by prominent Italian architect Tullio
Leggeri.
Leggeri is one of the leading Italian art collectors and has
been working since the early 1960s to support the creative
development of generations of Italian and foreign artists, young
and old.
