Curated by Emma Lavigne, general manager of the Pinault Collection, and Bruno Racine, director and managing director of Palazzo Grassi, the exhibition of works from the Pinault Collection “Icônes” is open to the public from 2 April to 26 November 2023 at Punta della Dogana.
The thematic exhibition features several works from the Pinault Collection by Josef Albers, Dineo Seshee Bopape, Maurizio Cattelan, Étienne Chambaud, Edith Dekyndt, Theaster Gates, David Hammons, Donald Judd, On Kawara, Kimsooja, James Lee Byars, Francesco Lo Savio, Sherrie Levine, Agnes Martin, Paulo Nazareth, Camille Norment, Roman Opalka, Lygia Pape, Michel Parmentier, Philippe Parreno, Robert Ryman, Dayanita Singh, Rudolf Stingel, Danh Vo, and Chen Zhen.
Between figuration and abstraction, this exhibition invokes all the dimensions of the image in the artistic context—paintings, videos, sounds, installations, performances—through a selection of emblematic works from the Pinault Collection, and new dialogues between artists who are particularly important for the Collection (David Hammons/Agnes Martin; Danh Vo/Rudolf Stingel; Sherrie Levine/On Kawara…). The exhibition considers both the fragility and the power of images, their polysemic character: all the works become apparitions, illuminations, revelations; they are transfigurations, in every respect.
