The Main Section ranges from Modern and post-war art, always the exhibition’s strong points, to contemporary art, with a strong emphasis on Italian art. It encourages monographic presentations, which receive special conditions.
Arte Fiera celebrates its 50th edition with Viaggio in Italia, a new project that for the first time involves all of the galleries in the Main Section and reinforces its role in the analysis and research of Italian art.
This systematic itinerary focuses on an Italian artist, from 20th-century masters to new generations, presenting a work on paper – watercolor, oil, tempera, pastels, gouache, as well as collage, drawing, or simple preparatory sketch – interpretable as a unique piece or single work, or as a series composed of multiple elements.
Therefore, Viaggio in Italia is a vast score that lets you travel in two directions: by reviewing and rediscovering Italian art through emblematic works and summaries of entire poetics, or unexpected and apparently minor and eccentric works, while at the same time learning the recent history of an often-underestimated support – paper – the medium par excellence of travel, and of travel in Italy, since the era of the Grand Tour.
