From 4 March 2023, the Palazzo Strozzi Foundation presents Reaching for the Stars.

Promoted and organized by the Palazzo Strozzi Foundation and the Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Foundation, Reaching for the Stars explores the main artistic research of recent decades through a constellation of works exhibited in all the spaces of Palazzo Strozzi, from the Piano Nobile to the Strozzina, with a special new installation for the Renaissance courtyard.


Curated by Arturo Galansino, Director General of the Palazzo Strozzi Foundation, the exhibition is a celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of the Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Collection, one of the most famous and prestigious collections of contemporary art at an international level, openly restoring its variety , evolution and its being constantly in progress. Indeed, the project at Palazzo Strozzi stems from the desire to create a platform for experimentation and participation in which the display of works from the collection is combined with new productions created for the exhibition, as well as an extensive program of activities and projects with the leading artists of talks and workshops, and numerous activities to involve the public.

Between painting, sculpture, installation, photography, video and performance, the exhibition enhances the dialogue between Palazzo Strozzi and contemporary art by offering visitors a journey to discover the great stars of global art of recent decades. In fact, the exhibition offers a journey through the works of artists who have marked the evolution of artistic practices between the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century, in a journey that addresses different themes such as the experimentation of artistic languages, figuration and abstraction, identity and the body from a social and political point of view, the role and image of women in today's society, reflection on contemporary history between community and individuality, through references to historical events such as 9/11 2001 or the struggles for civil rights.
