Palazzo Sant’Elia, Palermo
In the vibrant heart of Palermo, within the historic walls of Palazzo Sant’Elia, the exhibition Pinakothek’a has been extended until July 20, 2025, captivating contemporary art lovers. Curated by art historians Sergio Troisi and Alessandro Pinto, the exhibition presents about two hundred works selected from the prestigious Elenk’Art collection, offering a journey through the 20th century up to the present day.
The exhibition provides a chronological path, starting with works from the period between the two World Wars, featuring masters like Cagnaccio di San Pietro, Donghi, and de Chirico. It then moves on to Italian abstraction, represented by artists such as Accardi and Consagra. The show also includes masterpieces of European informal art, with names like Hartung and Mathieu, as well as works from the 1960s and 70s experimentation, including pieces by Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Pascali, and Rotella.
A dedicated room highlights Renato Guttuso, with about ten works, some of them large in size, offering an immersive experience in the expressive world of the Sicilian master. Additionally, the exhibition offers a focused look at the Sicilian art scene over the past 25 years, featuring works by members of the so-called “School of Palermo,” such as Alessandro Bazan, Francesco De Grandi, and Fulvio Di Piazza, emphasizing the vibrancy and continuous evolution of the local artistic landscape.
Pinakothek’a is not just an exhibition, but a true journey through contemporary art, a mosaic of styles and movements that marked the last century and continue to influence the present. It is an unmissable opportunity for those wishing to immerse themselves in the beauty and complexity of modern art, celebrated in the splendid setting of Palazzo Sant’Elia.
