September 16, 2008–December 14, 2008
Robert Lehman Wing
This is a comprehensive survey—the first in this country—of the career of Giorgio Morandi, one of the greatest 20th-century masters of still-life and landscape painting in the tradition of Chardin and Cézanne. The exhibition presents approximately 110 paintings, watercolors, drawings, and etchings from his early “metaphysical” works to his late evanescent still lifes, culled mainly from Italian collections, including those formed with Morandi’s help by his friends and by renowned scholars of his art.
Accompanied by a catalogue.
The exhibition is made possible by Jane and Robert Carroll.
Additional support is provided by Isabella del Frate Rayburn and Maurice Kanbar.
The exhibition was organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and MAMbo—Museo d’Arte Moderna di Bologna.
It is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities.
