The show

It is the largest exhibition ever dedicated to Mario Nigro (Pistoia 1917 – Livorno 1992), protagonist of the Italian art scene of the 20th century, which opens to the public from 14 July in two venues: Palazzo Reale (until 17 September) and Museo del Novecento (until 5 November).

Promoted by the Municipality of Milan - Culture , produced by Palazzo Reale , the Museo del Novecento and Eight Art Project , the exhibition is organized in collaboration with the Mario Nigro Archive and curated by Antonella Soldaini and Elena Tettamanti .

More than one hundred and forty works are exhibited from 1947 to the last of 1992, including paintings, three-dimensional works, on paper and a vast selection of documents. The exhibition includes works exhibited at the Venice Biennale in 1964, 1968, 1978, 1982, 1986 and at the X Rome Quadrennial in 1973.

In collaboration with the PAC Padiglione d'Arte Contemporanea , a conference will recall the terrorist-mafia attack of 27 July 1993, which destroyed the spaces of the pavilion, a work by Mario Nigro and damaged other works of his that were to be exhibited in an anthology dedicated to the artist who died a year earlier. The meeting was born from the reflection on this tragic attack that hit Milan and Italy and represents the most appropriate way to affirm, after thirty years, the primacy of art and culture over crime.

The itinerary marks the different stylistic moments of the artist. It develops through eight rooms on the noble floor of Palazzo Reale which retrace Nigro's activity with paintings and three-dimensional works created starting from the second half of the forties : works that bear witness to an experimental artistic language and a decisive orientation towards abstract compositional structures and geometric.
