Julian Schnabel's Plate Paintings Return with Italian Pines at Pace Gallery
Pace Gallery presents Julian Schnabel: Italy Through Its Trees at 540 West 25th Street, New York, from May 15 to August 14. The exhibition features new plate paintings and works on maps depicting the Italian umbrella pine, marking a new phase in Schnabel's long engagement with Italy. Inspired by his first visit in his twenties to see Giotto's Scrovegni Chapel, Caravaggio, and Piero della Francesca, Schnabel focused on the pine trees while living near Villa Borghese in Rome during filming of his upcoming movie In the Hand of Dante.
