Emilio Isgrò. L’opera delle formiche
Museo d’Arte Contemporanea del Carmine, Scicli
May 6 – November 23 2025
Tornabuoni Art is pleased to participate in the exhibition Emilio Isgrò. L’opera delle formiche at the Museo d’Arte Contemporanea del Carmine in Scicli, through the loan of three works by the artist: La lumière de la liberté (2017), La giara di Empedocle (2015), and La giara di Archimede (2015).
Curated by Marco Bazzini and Bruno Corà, the exhibition marks the official opening of the MACC, a new cultural hub established within the former Carmine convent, restored and reopened to the public after forty years thanks to the support of the Ministry of Culture.
Organized in collaboration with the Emilio Isgrò Archives and with the scholarly contribution of the MAXXI in Rome, this retrospective aims to offer a comprehensive and nuanced view of the artist’s trajectory, from his poetic beginnings in the 1960s to his most recent visual experiments.
The exhibition presents approximately seventy works drawn from public and private collections, with particular attention to the artist’s engagement with Mediterranean culture. Among the most significant installations is The Work of the Ants, which symbolically occupies Piazza Busacca and inaugurates the museum itinerary.
The exhibition is open to the public until November 3, 2025 and is accompanied by a catalogue published by Allemandi Editore.
