Exhibition Description
Curated by Damiano Gullì and with the exhibition design by Studio Italo Rota, the exhibition – named after the volume published by Multhipla/Giancarlo Politi in 1975 – is devoted to contemporary Italian painting and brings together the works of 120 of the most interesting Italian artists from the 1960s to the 2000s.
In the year of the centenary celebrations for Triennale Milano, Italian Painting Today is ideally linked to the history of the institution insofar as it draws inspiration from the mural painting exhibitions organized in the Palazzo dell’Arte since 1933, as well as from Luciano Baldessari’s project for the 9th International Exhibition in 1951. The aim is to highlight how painting has been an object of analysis and display for Triennale since its founding – based on a lively dialogue between different disciplines.
