Italian Contemporary Art Travels the Silk Road in Major Exhibition

The exhibition 'La Via della Seta. Arte e artisti contemporanei dall’Italia', organized by Fondazione Garuzzo and curated by Angela Tecce, has concluded its journey along the ancient Silk Road, showcasing Italian contemporary art from the past fifty years. The project began in July 2021 at the Kyiv History Museum in Ukraine, then traveled to the CerModern Arts Center in Ankara, Turkey, the History Museum of Tbilisi in Georgia, and finally to the Art Museum of Xi'an in China, where it ended due to pandemic-related delays. The exhibition featured works by 38 Italian artists including Carla Accardi, Alighiero Boetti, Jannis Kounellis, Michelangelo Pistoletto, and many others. Rosalba Garuzzo, President of Fondazione Garuzzo, expressed hope to continue bringing Italian contemporary art worldwide. The project was supported by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
