METALLICA. Scultura in Italia 1947-2025
Palazzo Vitelli a Sant’Egidio, Città di Castello
March 30 – June 29 2025
Tornabuoni Art is pleased to announce the loan of six works for the exhibition METALLICA. Scultura in Italia 1947–2025, held at Palazzo Vitelli a Sant’Egidio in Città di Castello.
The gallery contributes the following works: Marte (1965) by Ettore Colla, Ettore e Andromaca (2001) by Giorgio de Chirico, Seme d’arancia (2007–2015) by Emilio Isgrò, Studio per grandi pieghe (1978) by Giacomo Manzù, Guerriero (1958–59) by Marino Marini, and Figura con stella (2000–2002) by Mimmo Paladino.
Curated by Bruno Corà, the exhibition explores the use of metal in Italian sculpture from the 1940s to the present, highlighting how this material has been interpreted by successive generations through heterogeneous languages and sensibilities. From Fontana’s spatialist gestures to Isgrò’s conceptual experimentation, through de Chirico’s reinterpretation of myth and Marini’s plastic forms, metal emerges as both an expressive and symbolic medium capable of transcending eras and artistic visions.
The exhibition is promoted by the Associazione Palazzo Vitelli a Sant’Egidio, in collaboration with the Fondazione Palazzo Albizzini Collezione Burri, on the occasion of the palace’s restoration and reopening to the public, and anticipates the inauguration of the future Center for Contemporary Arts Documentation.
The exhibition is on view until 29 June 2025.
