the Art Exhibitions In March recommended by the rossetti gallery
Genoa – Museo d’Arte Orientale Edoardo Chiossone
Imago Buddha. The language of symbols in Buddhist art
From India to China, from South-East Asia to Japan, an exhibition like a journey to discover the language of symbols in Buddhist art and iconography, including works and images, graphic elaborations and scientific materials created for the occasion.
From aniconic art to the anthropomorphic representation of the Buddha, from archaic forms to the construction of the canon of symbols, from philosophical content to the language of forms, from image culture to images for worship, from the centrality of the body to the symbolism of postures and gestures, from the iconography of figures to the elaboration of compositions.
Until 20 July 2025
Milan – Palazzo Reale
Casorati
Her work addresses fundamental issues of contemporary society, such as the questioning of gender, identity, belonging, established models of family, masculinity and femininity. The title of the exhibition is inspired by the reflections her work provoked in important writers and artists of her time, including Jean Genet, Max Ernst or Jean Cocteau.
Dedicated to one of the most influential and recognised protagonists of 20th century Italian art, the Felice Casorati exhibition is an anthological exhibition that reconstructs the artist’s entire career, tracing the different seasons of his painting. Conceived for the rooms of the Palazzo Reale, the exhibition brings together one hundred outstanding works, including paintings, sculptures, drawings and graphic works, from prestigious private and museum collections
Until 29 June 2025
Florence – Palazzo Strozzi
Tracey Emin. Sex and solitude
Palazzo Strozzi presents Tracey Emin. Sex and Solitude, the largest exhibition ever held in Italy dedicated to one of the most famous and influential artists on the contemporary scene.
Renowned for a direct and raw approach in her art, Tracey Emin creates works in which intimate and private moments are transformed into existential metaphors reflecting on sexuality or illness, loneliness or love. Through honest and strongly autobiographical research, Emin translates personal experiences into intense and powerful works, in which the direct and explicit language of her famous neon phrases is combined with the strong materiality of her paintings and sculptures.
Until 20 July 2025
Milan – PAC
Shirin Neshat. Body of evidence
The Milan Pavilion of Contemporary Art presents the first extensive solo exhibition in Italy of Iranian artist Shirin Neshat (1957, Qazvin), winner of the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale in 1999, the Silver Lion for Best Director at the Venice Film Festival in 2009 and the Praemium Imperiale in Tokyo in 2017.
The lens through which Neshat interprets History and the Contemporary not only of her home country, Iran, but of the entire world, is the gaze of women. A multi-disciplinary artist, Neshat has approached photography, video, film and theatre, creating highly lyrical narratives as well as politically charged visions that question questions of power, religion, race and relationships between past and present, East and West, individual and collective.
Until 8 June 2025
The recommended book
Scenes from a Futurist Wedding
Lino Mannocci
Neri Pozza
On 28 August 1913, Gino Severini married Jeanne Fort in Paris. His witnesses were Guillaume Apollinaire and Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. Certainly that wedding represents an exemplary moment not only of the relationship between the Italian and French avant-garde, but of the historical avant-garde in general and its undisputed capital of the time: Paris. Filled with artists from different parts of Europe, Paris was then the centre in which all those who, in the Old Continent, generated scandal and upheaval converged, but also opened up new and important aesthetic goals to art.
