Giorgio de Chirico & Giulio Paolini
The Center for Italian Modern Art (CIMA) presents a new exhibition exploring the direct ties between two influential Italian artists, born in different centuries but characterized by deep affinities: the founder of Metaphysical painting, Giorgio de Chirico (1888–1978), and leading conceptual artist Giulio Paolini (b. 1940). The exhibition brings the artists together in conversation for the first time, with highlights including a new series of works on paper by Paolini created especially for this exhibition and several Metaphysical masterpieces by de Chirico that have not been on view in the U.S. in half a century.
