Modern Forms is delighted to be loaning Jenny Saville’s, Out of one, two (symposium), 2016, Charcoal and pastel on canvas, to an extraordinary display of her work from the 1990’s onwards across five museums in Florence Museo Novecento, Museo di Palazzo Vecchio, Museo dell’Opera del Duomo, Museo degli Innocenti, and Museo di Casa Buonarroti. Curated by Sergio Risaliti the exhibition runs September 30, 2021–February 20, 2022.
“The exhibition will reveal a dialogue between Saville and the art and artists of the Italian Renaissance, including some of Michelangelo’s greatest masterpieces. Correspondences include the monumentality of her paintings, a distinctive feature of Saville’s figurative language since the early years of her career, as well as her research focused on the body, on flesh, and on naked female subjects, mutilated or crushed by weight and from existence.”
