exhibition · 2026-04-26

Three photography exhibitions open in Pordenone, Italy, featuring Robert Doisneau, Seiichi Furuya, and Olivia Arthur. The shows are hosted at Galleria Bertoia and Museo Civico Ricchieri. Doisneau's retrospective "Lo sguardo che racconta" includes over 130 works spanning from the 1930s to color experiments, with iconic images like "Baiser de l'Hôtel de Ville" and portraits of Picasso. Furuya's "Face to Face" focuses on his wife Christine, who died by suicide in 1985, displayed above a necropolis discovered that same year. Arthur's "Murmurings of the Skin" features photographs printed on fabric, exploring skin as a boundary, with images of pregnancy and hands, installed in dialogue with the museum's collection. Curator Gabriel Bauret described Doisneau's iconic kiss as "the Mona Lisa of photography." The exhibitions run at Galleria Bertoia and Museo Civico Ricchieri in Pordenone.
