Palazzo Ducale in Genoa is ready to welcome, from 9 September 2021 to 20 February 2022, the largest and most complete anthological exhibition dedicated to the great Dutch genius Maurits Cornelis Escher, today one of the most beloved artists globally and whose impossible worlds have entered the collective imagination making it a true icon of the world of modern art. With over 200 works and his most representative works such as Hand with Reflecting Sphere (1935), Bond of Union (1956), Metamorphosis II (1939), Day and Night (1938) and the Emblemata series, the exhibition presents in 8 sections an excursus of his entire and extensive artistic production. For the first time, in Genoa, the public will be able to experience the imaginative Escherian universe through unprecedented immersive rooms and impossible structures that will be compared with works by great visionary artists such as Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720 - 1778) and Victor Vasarely ( 1906 - 1997) Between art, mathematics, science, physics, nature and design, the Escher exhibition is a unique event to get to know a restless, reserved but undoubtedly brilliant artist more closely and to actively compete with the many perspective, geometric and compositional paradoxes which are the basis of his works and which still continue to inspire generations of new artists in every field. Promoted and organized by the Palazzo Ducale Foundation for Culture and Arthemisia, in collaboration with the MC Escher Foundation, the exhibition is curated by Mark Veldhuysen - CEO of the MC Escher Company - and Federico Giudiceandrea - one of the most important Escher experts in the world.
