Henry Moore in Florence
Museum Novocento
September 16, 2022 – March 31
Large Interior Form and Family Group will be exhibited respectively in two symbolic places in the city: Piazza della Signoria and, in an exceptional case, in the churchyard of the Abbey of San Miniato al Monte, to interact with the historical and artistic heritage of Florence.
The exhibition adds to those already held in previous years that have seen contemporary art interact with the great monuments of Piazza della Signoria, such as those by Jan Fabre and Jeff Koons, Urs Fisher and Francesco Vezzoli. A curatorial line that has courageously and radically changed the relationship between Florence and modern artistic language, opening the way to fresh new perspectives and leading to other international initiatives. The exhibition also marks a repeated collaboration with the BIAF – International Biennial of Antiques in Florence.
