Giorgio Morandi Exhibition

Center for Italian Modern Art

This event has ended.

The Center for Italian Modern Art announces its third season, dedicated to Giorgio Morandi (1890-1964), one of the best known Italian artists of the 20th century. CIMA’s installation will focus on the artist’s rarely seen works from the 1930s—the decade when Morandi reached full artistic maturity and developed his distinctive pictorial language; these works until now have remained relatively little known outside of Italy. Featuring over 50 paintings, etchings, and drawings by the acclaimed Italian modernist, the installation marks the first time in decades that many of these works have been on view in the US. The installation also presents select works from the very beginning of Morandi’s career in the 1910s and from the very end of his career in the 1960s, shedding light on the influence the artist had on the emerging American minimalists.
