art exhibitions in november recommended by the rossetti gallery
Genoa – Castello D’Albertis Museum of World Cultures
Tandem – International Exhibition of Contemporary Illustrators
Many people will be thinking of bicycles with two or more seats, but tandem has many meanings, starting with the one derived from Latin, which can be translated as “finally.” So, thanks to the exhibition and the artists on display, “finally” we will discover many of these meanings.
The exhibition is divided into two sections: the first, dedicated to illustrators who participated in Tapirulan’s annual illustration contest, interpreting the TANDEM theme: 52 works by as many artists selected by the jury are on display. The second section hosts an exhibition entirely dedicated to the guest of honor Franco Matticchio, titled “Forbidden to Enter,” with more than 150 works tracing the artist’s 50-year career.
Until December 1, 2024
Turin – GAM
Mary Heilmann
Mary Heilmann is one of the most important contemporary abstract painters. The exhibition traces her sixty-year career, from her early geometric paintings of the 1970s to her recent canvases shaped in fluorescent colors. The sixty works in the exhibition traverse her joyful output to offer a broad look at her playful approach to abstraction, touching on foundational passages and thematic cores in her oeuvre.
Until March 16, 2025
Milan – Mudec
DUBUFFET AND THE ART BRUT: the art of outsiders
Born in the heart of a postwar Paris, far from the halls of art museums and refined salons, Art Brut, whose definition and theorization belongs to French artist and theorist Jean Dubuffet, represents ‘raw,’ ‘pure,’ ‘unfiltered’ art.
Specially conceived for the Museum of Cultures, the exhibition is made possible through a collaboration with the Collection de l’Art Brut in Lausanne, which owns an extraordinary collection of more than 70,000 works that grew out of the nucleus of Dubuffet’s exceptional donation to the City of Lausanne in 1971. Drawings, paintings, sculptures and textile works, which are still growing today thanks to purchases and donations from new authors.
Until February 16, 2025
Milan – Pinacoteca Agnelli
Salvo. Arrivare in tempo
Arriving on time will be the largest exhibition dedicated to Salvo’s work. Born in Sicily, Salvo has lived in Turin since 1956, where he first approached Arte Povera and the languages of conceptual art, and then devoted himself since 1973 exclusively to painting, an unconventional choice for the cultural climate of the early 1970s.
Contrary to the mainstream even in the Italian scene, Salvo has pursued for forty years a unique research and critical reflection towards the medium of painting. Realized in close collaboration with the Salvo Archive, the exhibition will focus on some of the fundamental motifs of the artist’s research: the concept of repetition in the exploration of recurring motifs, understood both as a pictorial technique and as a conceptual urgency; the reflection on painting as language and language as art; and the relationship between art history and the gaze on everyday life.
Until May 25, 2025
The recommended book
The nocturnal portrait
Laura Morelli – Piemme
Interweaving the stories of two women bound, five hundred years apart, by the same painting, Laura Morelli infuses her deep knowledge of Renaissance art into a historical novel that is as compelling, throbbing and rich as the paintings it describes. From the Milan of Leonardo da Vinci and Ludovico il Moro to Nazi Germany and invaded Poland, the incredible fate of a masterpiece that has weathered the ravages of History.
