“Archinto” presents the work of German artist Georg Baselitz at the Museum of Palazzo Grimani through November 27. The show is curated by Mario Codognato, and presented by Venetian Heritage and Direzione regionale Musei Veneto, in association with Gagosian. On view are 12 canvases made exclusively for the Sala del Portego, hanging on original 18th-century stucco panels that once held portraits of the Grimani family. The artist found inspiration in the spirited city of Venice and its vivid artistic traditions. The title of the exhibition pays homage to Titian’s 1558 portrait of Cardinal Filippo Archinto, giving new life to an artistic master and the resounding theme of human mortality.
