Effetto notte: New American Realism at Palazzo Barberini
The Palazzo Barberini in Rome is hosting 'Effetto notte: Nuovo realismo americano,' an exhibition that celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Aïshti Foundation with over 150 pieces by American artists. Curated by Flaminia Gennari Santori and Massimiliano Gioni, the showcase juxtaposes Caravaggesque realism with American artistic expressions. Notable installations include Glen Lygon's neon piece 'America' and triptychs by Henry Taylor. Featured artworks comprise Urs Fischer's alien horse, mutant figures by Louise Bonnet, Joan Semmel's nude self-portraits, and contributions from Willem de Kooning and Christina Quarles. Additionally, the exhibition presents Maurizio Cattelan's pigeons and Charles Rey's fiberglass archangel, culminating with Cindy Sherman's photographs and Lorna Simpson's titular piece, which evoke the 'night effect.'
