Georg Baselitz – Galleria degli Antichi, Italy

FROM 27 APRIL THE EXHIBITION ‘BELLE HALEINE’ BY GEORG BASELITZ

From 27 April to 24 November 2024 the evocative Renaissance structure of the Galleria degli Antichi in Sabbioneta (Mantua) will host the exhibition Belle Haleine by the famous German artist Georg Baselitz, a leading figure in the world of contemporary art. With this exhibition of an international character, the Sabbioneta Heritage Foundation enters into the heart of its activities to manage and enhance the artistic and monumental heritage of the UNESCO site of Sabbioneta, the Ideal City founded by Vespasiano Gonzaga Colonna.

Under the frescoed ceilings and along the twenty-six arches of the Galleria degli Antichi will be exhibited impressive sculptures, large paintings on canvas and, for the first time all together, ten provocative engravings by the artist, whose distinctive feature is to reproduce figures upside down.
