"Picabia. Aprire Le Porte Della Notte" is the most extensive exhibition ever staged in Italy dedicated to Francis Picabia, one of the most original, elusive and influential figures in twentieth-century art.
Picabia came into contact with the most representative exponents of modernity, including Duchamp, Stein and Picasso, and moved freely through Impressionism, Fauvism, Cubism and Dadaism, never identifying with a single movement and establishing himself as one of the first pioneers of abstraction.
Through more than 170 works including paintings, drawings, photographs, documents and archival materials from international collections, the exhibition route explores the theme of the night in Picabia as a metaphor for life, desire and reinvention, revealing the creative universe of an artist in continuous metamorphosis. Promoted by Comune di Milano – Cultura, produced by Palazzo Reale and MADEINART.
Curated by Anne Berest Picabia
