An exhibition on Giorgio de Chirico and his “Apparizioni metafisiche”

(14 April 2017) "Giorgio de Chirico. Apparizioni metafisiche" (Metaphysical Apparitions) is the title of the upcoming exhibition at the Treyjakov Gallery in Moscow on April 20th. The Tretjakov Gallery will host the first large-scale Giorgio De Chirico exhibition in Russia thanks to the collaboration with the Fondazione Isa e Giorgio De Chirico and other important Italian lending institutions such as GNAM (National Gallery of Modern Art) in Rome and MART (The Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Trento and Rovereto) and with the support of the Italian Cultural Institute and Bosco di Ciliegi as part of the Festival Bosco di Ciliegi. Giorgio De Chirico (1888−1978) was one of the most influential artists of the 20th century; considered the precursor of Surrealism, and founder of Metaphysical painting. In 1929, four of his works were exhibited for the first time in Moscow followed by an exhibition of his drawings and etchings in 1930. The De Chirico Foundation was founded in Rome in 1986 by his widow Isabella Pakswer Far. The Foundation inherited the greater part of his artistic patrimony after Isabella’s demise. The Moscow exhibition will remain open to the public until July 23 and features a selection of approximately 100 paintings, prints, sculpture, and theatre costumes De Chirico designed in 1929 for "Le bal" produced by Sergej Djaghilev's Ballets Russes. Accompanying his works will be archival materials and photographs. (Red)


THE GIORGIO DE CHIRICO HOUSE-MUSEUM

Giorgio de Chirico’s apartment occupies the top three floors of the 17th century Palazzo Borgognoni at No. 31 Piazza di Spagna, Rome. The artist lived here for the last 30 years of his life with his second wife Isabella Pakzswer Far who continued to reside there until she passed away in 1990. Thanks to Isabella Far’s legacy, the De Chirico House-Museum is accessible to the public. It was inaugurated on 20 November 1998, the 20th anniversary of De Chirico’s death. It provides a unique look into the artist’s everday life and into the original imagery of his work in a surprising and evocative weaving of art and life.
