Presenting a dialogue between Danh Vo’s practice and works by Park Seo-Bo (1931), credited as being the father of the ‘Dansaekhwa’ movement, and the American acclaimed sculptor, architect, designer and scenographer Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988), the exhibition spans the historical palace once inhabited by the Venetian noble family the Querinis. Among the first founders of Venice, they accumulated a vast collection of objects, books and above all works of art over many generations which were bequeathed to the city with the birth of the foundation in 1869.

In conjunction with the next International Art Exhibition of the Venice Biennale, the Gallerie dell’Accademia di Venezia are dedicating an extraordinary exhibition to the great artist, internationally recognised, Anish Kapoor. This exhibition will have retrospective elements alongside newer bodies of work, presenting key moments in the artist’s career. Ground-breaking new works, created using carbon nanotechnology, which will be shown for the first time, as well as recent paintings and sculptures that are testament to the vitality and visionary thrust of Kapoor’s current practice. The exhibition will be enriched with a second and prestigious venue: the historic Palazzo Manfrin, in the Cannaregio district of Venice, to whose collection originally belonged a significant nucleus of masterpieces now exhibited in the Museum.

Curated by Elisabetta Barisoni and Edith Devaney, the exhibition is dedicated to one of the leading exponents of Italian painting in the second half of the 20th century. America was a great testing ground for Afro Basaldella and gave him the opportunity to meet members of the New York school, including Pollock, De Kooning and Gorky. With forty-five masterpieces arriving from collections and museums around the world, the show pays homage to an artist who is also well represented in the collections of Ca’ Pesaro. It explores the relationship that developed in the 50s between Italian art and American abstract expressionism and action painting.
