Catania Gallery - Costanti exhibition - Palazzo Valle Catania - Puglisi Cosentino Foundation - Catania shows
COSTANTI del Classico nell'arte del XX e XXI secolo
Catania Historical Centre - Palazzo Valle - 22nd February 29th June 2009

THE EXHIBITION The exhibition wants to show the transversal quality of the concept of “classic” by displaying over 70 works, undisputed masterpieces from prestigious museums, foundations and private collections by the most significant artists throughout the ages in Italy and abroad. Placing side by side works by such different artists, not only as regards their age and homeland, creates an interesting exhibition where the visitor is invited to actively look at the works with a “critical eye”, sometimes reflectively, sometimes in pure contemplation. PALAZZO VALLE A typical Sicilian baroque building designed by the great architect G.B. Vaccarini, Palazzo Valle is located in the historical town-centre of Catania. Having become uninhabitable because of its state of neglect, Alfio Puglisi Cosentino decided, in 2004, to revive it and, after the restoration work, in 2008 Palazzo Valle became the seat of the Fondazione Puglisi Cosentino. The Foundation has been set up to seek, acquire, restore and exhibit works of antique, modern and contemporary art. The artistic supervision has been entrusted to Bruno Corà.
