Centre for Contemporary Culture at Palazzo Strozzi

Palazzo Strozzi

Traces of  Time. Human figure and existential condition from Francis Bacon to the art of today
28 September 2012–27 January 2013

The exhibition, organized by the Centre for Contemporary Culture Strozzina (Florence, Palazzo Strozzi) in conjuction with the Dublin City Gallery – The Hugh Lane (Dublin), triggers a dialogue between the work of Francis Bacon and that of contemporary artists like Adrian Ghenie, Annegret Soltau, Chiharu Shiota and Arcangelo Sassolino, brought together by an intense focus on the human body and the topic of material decay as the expression of an existential experience. The  exhibition  will  focus  on  a  group  of  figurative  paintings  by  Francis  Bacon  in  conjunction  with  a  selection  of  visual  material  from  the  artist’s  studio  archive  now  in  the  Dublin  City  Gallery  and  on  display  in  Italy  for  the  first  time.
