Kandinsky Retrospective at Palazzo Bonaparte in Rome Draws 70+ Works from Centre Pompidou
A significant retrospective on Wassily Kandinsky is set to take place at Palazzo Bonaparte in Rome, open until 14 February 2027. This exhibition, organized by Arthemisia in partnership with the Centre Pompidou and curated by Angela Lampe, showcases more than seventy masterpieces from Nina Kandinsky's collection. Notable loans from the Centre Pompidou include works like L'Arco nero (1912) and Gelb-Rot-Blau (1925). The exhibition explores Kandinsky's journey, focusing on his shift towards abstraction and his collaboration with Gabriele Münter, as well as his experiences in revolutionary Russia and at the Bauhaus, where he taught until 1933.
