• EDMONDO BACCI.
L'energia della luce.
Un’ottantina di opere, tra
dipinti e disegni inediti,
provenienti dall’Archivio
Edmondo Bacci, musei e
collezioni private nazionali
e internazionali, riportano idealmente
a Ca’ Venier dei Leoni l’artista
veneziano tanto caro a Peggy Guggenheim.
Curata da Chiara Bertola, la mostra si concentra
sul periodo più lirico e felice della produzione
di Bacci, ovvero gli anni ’50, che hanno segnato
il successo nonché la consacrazione dell’artista,
avvenuta nel 1958 nel corso della XXIX Biennale
Internazionale d’Arte di Venezia.
Tra le opere esposte quella che Alfred Barr, allora
direttore del Museum of Modern Art di New
York, acquistò nel 1953. La tela, nota come “Avvenimento
13 R”, oggi parte della collezione del museo
newyorkese, ritorna eccezionalmente in Italia,
per essere esposta per la prima volta al pubblico.
La mostra chiude con un'importante opera di
Giambattista Tiepolo, tributo alla tradizione pittorica
veneziana.

Allestita negli spazi del Museo Correr, a partire

del significato di Giustizia.
Attraverso sei sezioni, corrispondenti allo svilupparsi
della Figura allegorica, dagli albori delle civiltà
fino all’età moderna, vengono esposti reperti
archeologici, monete, medaglie, documenti e
opere realizzate da importanti artisti, dal Medioevo
al ‘900.
L’esposizione si conclude con una serie di scene
dedicate ad atti e protagonisti di Giustizia immortalati
come eroi e santi e da una selezione di tele
firmate da grandi artisti che raffigurano episodi
legati al tema.
Ideata e organizzata dal Centro Europeo per il Turismo
e la Cultura di Roma in sinergia con Fondazione
Musei Civici di Venezia, la mostra resterà
aperta al pubblico fino al 3 settembre.

Around eighty artworks, between unpublished
paintings and drawings, from the Edmondo Bacci
Archive, national and international museums
and private collections, ideally bringing back this
Venetian artist so dear to Peggy Guggenheim at

By curator Chiara Bertola, the exhibition concentrates
on the most lyrical and happy period
in Bacci's production, or the 1950s, marking the
artist's success as well as his consecration, which
took place in 1958 during the 29th International
Art Biennale of Venice. Among the works
displayed, was the one which Alfred Barr, then
the director of the Museum of Modern Art in
New York, bought in 1953. This canvas, known
as "Event 13 R", and now part of the New York
museum collection, is returning exceptionally to
Italy to be exhibited in public for the first time.
