Tornabuoni Art mounts still-life show with Picasso, Morandi, Parmiggiani for Venice Biennale
For the Venice Biennale, Tornabuoni Art presents a group exhibition on the still-life genre, featuring works by Pablo Picasso, Giorgio Morandi, and Claudio Parmiggiani. Curated by Cécile Debray, president of the Musée national Picasso-Paris, the show traces a progression from materiality to erasure across three distinct artistic languages. It follows previous Tornabuoni monographs on Boetti and Burri and a group show on fire as a creative tool. The exhibition involves collaborations with the Musée national Picasso-Paris and the Museo Morandi, blurring lines between private gallery and public institution. Michele Casamonti, founder of Tornabuoni Art, describes the project as a scientific and curatorial elevation, not a retreat into the past.
