The Manzù Exhibition “L’avventura di Ulisse”
Posted in Exhibitions on 2 July 2005
23 July to 6 November 2005,
Mole Vanvitelliana, Banchina da Chio, Ancona.
Opening on Friday 22 July at 6.30 pm at the Mole Vanvitelliana, Ancona, the “Manzù: l'avventura di Ulisse”exhibition, a joint project between our Museum and the Studio Copernico of Milan, is an event of national importance.
Designed by Alberto Fiz, Erich Steingräber and Marco Vallora, the exhibition explores the myth of Ulysses through 50 works that comprehensively illustrate Giacomo Manzù's artistic evolution, from 1940 up to his last works of 1986.
The fact that the exhibition had to be readable through touch made the selection of the scuptures particulary challenging. Both famous and lesser-known works are featured: from the well-known “Cardinals” (created between the 1940s and the 1980s) to the works dedicated to his fascinating wife Inge Schabel. The exhibition enjoys the support of the Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali and Ancona City Council. The Regione Marche and the Provincia di Ancona have provided generous financial contributions.
