Transavanguardia Exhibition at Palazzo Sums in San Marino
San Marino's commitment to contemporary art is evident in the Transavanguardia exhibition at Palazzo Sums, running from 2024. The show features around fifty works spanning from the movement's origins in the early 1980s to the present day, curated by Alessandro Gea. It includes paintings, sculptures, mixed-media compositions, and watercolors by Sandro Chia, Francesco Clemente, Enzo Cucchi, Nicola De Maria, and Mimmo Paladino. The exhibition connects to themes from San Marino's pavilions at the Venice Biennale in 2022 (Posthuman Metamorphic) and 2023 (Host Guest), and references the 2024 theme "Foreigners Everywhere." Most works are from the Claudio Poleschi Arte Contemporanea gallery. The show highlights the ongoing vitality of the Transavanguardia movement, which was founded by Achille Bonito Oliva and gained international recognition.
