The exhibition Women are Beautiful brings together four Italian female artists of different generations, working in Milan, Rome, and Turin. Their work has traversed and made a significant impact on Italian art from the second half of the 20th century through to today, offering a reflection on painting, sculpture, and design.
With the aim of showing the singularity of their work, the exhibition proposes an introduction to how women artists in Italy viewed art in the period between the 1960s (in the case of more historical pieces—Carla Accardi’s paintings) and 2010s (in the case of more recent works by Marisa Merz and Nathalie Du Pasquier), without forgetting Cinzia Ruggeri, who was active primarily in the 1980s and 1990s.
