Press Release

Opening on January 16, 2025, Lévy Gorvy Dayan will present the significant solo exhibition Michelangelo Pistoletto: To Step Beyond, organized in collaboration with Galleria Continua. This major presentation will feature painting and sculpture spanning the Italian artist’s groundbreaking practice from the early 1960s to the present, illuminating the radicality of his evolving oeuvre. Pistoletto once wrote, “If art is life’s mirror, then I am the mirror maker.” Ever advancing the bounds of his artmaking, Pistoletto engages developments in technology, society, and the environment to consider contemporary existence while also looking to the future.
