EVENT DESCRIPTION

The exhibition Passione Novecento. From Paul Klee to Damien Hirst, which from 24 September 2022 to 8 January 2023 will be hosted at the prestigious Palazzo Medici Riccardi, where modern collecting was born at the time of Cosimo the Elder and Lorenzo Il Magnifico.

The exhibition, curated by Sergio Risaliti and promoted by the Metropolitan City of Florence, hosts a prestigious selection of works by 20th century masters from private Florentine and Tuscan collections. A journey into the art of the twentieth century built on the basis of a love for modern and contemporary art that continues, through a fil rouge, the history of the city in which the artistic events and those of private collecting have been intertwined over the centuries, sowing in the territory a sensitive predisposition to the avant-garde and its most advanced experiments.

A precious opportunity to admire works by Paul Klee, Giorgio de Chirico, Giorgio Morandi, Alberto Savinio, Lucio Fontana, Alberto Burri, together with those by Andy Warhol and Roy Lichenstein, Cecily Brown and Tracey Emin. Thanks to the passion of collectors, born in particular in the 'rooms' and in the studios of Palazzo Medici, the autonomy of works of art has been established, appreciated for themselves, cared for, contemplated and kept.
