Masterpieces from the Magnani-Rocca Foundation David Zwirner 16 January–22 February 2025 New York: 20th Street

Press Release

David Zwirner is pleased to present Giorgio Morandi: Masterpieces from the Magnani-Rocca Foundation. Curated by art historian and Morandi scholar Dr. Alice Ensabella and organized in collaboration with the Magnani-Rocca Foundation, the exhibition will feature over fifty works from across the revered artist’s six-decade long career, all on loan from the Foundation, located in Mamiano di Traversetolo, Italy. This exhibition will be one of the largest in New York to focus on Morandi’s work since Giorgio Morandi: 1890–1964, the artist’s 2008 retrospective at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. It follows and builds on celebrated institutional presentations of the Foundation’s collection of works by Morandi at the Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art, London, in 2023 and at Musée de Grenoble in 2021.

About the Artist

Giorgio Morandi (1890–1964) was born in 1890 in Bologna, Italy, where he lived until his death in 1964. From 1907–1913, he was enrolled at the Bologna Accademia di Belle Arti, where he later served as the professor of engraving and etching from 1930–1956. In 1913–1914, he established connections and exhibited with Italian Futurist artists such as Umberto Boccioni, Giacomo Balla, and Fortunato Depero, and in 1918–1919, worked briefly as part of the Scuola Metafisica with Giorgio de Chirico and Carlo Carrà. By 1920, Morandi established the small scale depictions of still lifes and landscapes that he would pursue for the remainder of his career, and which were associated with no other school or style but his own.
