The exhibition about Willem de Kooning and Italy will open on April 16, 2024 in conjunction with the 60th International Art Exhibition of the Venice Biennale and will remain open until September 15, 2024.
The exhibition will be the first to investigate the significance of de Kooning’s stays in Italy, dating back to 1959 and 1969. The curators, Gary Garrels and Mario Codognato, will explore, for the first time, the influence the trips to Italy had on the artist’s subsequent paintings, drawings and sculptures in America.
The exhibition will bring together some 75 works including paintings, sculptures and drawings, spanning four decades of de Kooning’s art, from the 1950s to the 1980s, creating the largest exhibition of the artist’s work ever organized in Italy.
