Three Must-See Exhibitions in Verona During ArtVerona
ArtVerona anchors Verona's art week, which includes a festival and exhibitions running through January. "Il mio corpo nel tempo," curated by Patrizia Nuzzo and Adriana Polveroni at Galleria d’Arte Moderna Achille Forti, displays pieces by Luigi Ontani, Urs Lüthi, and Roman Opalka. Ontani's work "Le Ore" explores the concept of time, while Lüthi showcases photographs from the 1960s that depict aging, and Opalka's installation features a recording of him counting in Polish. Meanwhile, "Iconoclash," curated by Antonio Grulli at Museo Civico di Castelvecchio, presents 23 artists, including Fabio Mauri and Simon Starling, with notable contributions from Ryan Gander, Paola Angelini, Nicola Samorì, and Flavio Favelli. Additionally, Fondazione Cariverona's La Rotonda hosts a tribute to Gabriele Basilico, curated by Luca Massimo Barbero, featuring 83 images from 2005.
