Centre for Contemporary Culture at Palazzo Strozzi
Palazzo Strozzi
An Idea of Beauty
The exhibition presents work by eight contemporary artists for exploring a new relationship with reality in search of an aesthetic experience conceived as a fundamental part of the individual himself, but also a life practice, an approach to reality, even occasionally only utopian. Experiencing beauty means experiencing daily life differently, experiencing it to the point where it causes us to look at it "from closer up" and prompts an emotional response in us which, while completely individual, can become the tool for forging a new relationship both with others and with the world.

Sculpture and the Arts in Florence 1400-1460 (23 March-18 August 2013). The exhibition proposes to illustrate the origin of what is still known today as the “miracle” of the Renaissance in Florence, doing so principally through masterpieces of sculpture, the branch of figurative art in which that new season first saw the light of day.
