Lights on the '900. The centenary of the modern art gallery in the Palazzo Pitti 1914 - 2014

One hundred years after its foundation, the Gallery of Modern Art, Pitti Palace exhibits and tells his collections of ‘900’ century of innovative fervor, tears of cultural (and not only), tragedies and reconstructions, a century in the arts has addressed a contemporary, our twenty-first century, profoundly shaped by the experiences inherited “(Cristina Acidini).

To celebrate the centenary of its foundation, the Gallery of Modern Art, Pitti Palace has dedicated an exhibition to the twentieth-century collections held by the museum.

In fact, despite the Gallery of Modern Art is known for being the museum boasts the largest and most important, historically and qualitatively macchiaioli collection of paintings in the world, you probably do not know all the ‘interesting collection of twentieth-century works until now confined in the stores.

The show tends to attract attention to this museum within a museum, until now submerged due to a lack of exhibition space: “I like the lights of a lighthouse those (…) turn on and off on the collections of this museum, a sort of path AC that allows you to be able to see the most significant selections of all of the assets (….) “(Simonella Condemi ).

you tell through this show, thanks to its cutting historicist, the time and manner that characterized the acquisition of the works in the Gallery as well as to highlight, through the choices made during the decades of the last century, the cultural ferment of Florence at that time.

But it is more than an exhibition, is evidence for a museum of masterpieces by the most unusual of the last century, which we hope will eventually find at the end of the exposure, a stable place in the last salt facade of the Gallery of Modern Art in Palazzo Pitti. As it has done for the twentieth-century collections of the City of Florence with the new Museum of the twentieth century have recently found their exhibition spaces in the complex Leopoldine.
