From Sept. 21, 2018, to Feb. 10, 2019, between Turin, Vercelli, and Bielli, a major retrospective traces the last 100 years of Italian art.

An exhibition between Turin, Vercelli and Biella dedicated to the last 100 years of Italian art, from the early 20th century to the present day, will kick off on Sept. 21, 2018, and can be visited until Feb. 10, 2019.

"100% Italy. One Hundred Years of Masterpieces," this is the title of the exhibition (a huge show, with more than 600 works and a catalog that weighs almost 5 kilograms), tracesItalian art of the 20th century to highlight its preeminent role, to introduce artists considered cornerstones of international culture through their most representative works.

The exhibition project can be defined on several levels: the first is linear and chronological, where year after year the works follow one another; the second emphasizes the movements that have influenced Italian and world tastes; and the third is a didactic and popular project in order to deepen paths and stories related to Italian art.

Also on display are works usually kept in private collections and therefore difficult to see by the public.

Various are the sections in which the exhibition is developed in several locations: Futurism, Second Futurism, Metaphysics and Neometaphysics, Magical Realism, Twentieth Century, Corrente, Abstraction, Informal, Analytical Painting, Pop Art, Optical, Minimalism, Arte Povera, Conceptual Art, Transavantgarde, New Figuration, Internationality.

Collections and archives of museums, foundations, public and private galleries and collectors collaborated in 100% Italy. The cities of Turin, Vercelli and Biella welcomed the exhibition in multiple exhibition venues in their territories: the Museo Ettore Fico, MEF Outside, the Mastio della Cittadella and Palazzo Barolo in Turin, theArca - Ex chiesa di San Marco in Vercelli and Palazzo Gromo Losa and the Museo del Territorio in Biella.

The exhibition is conceived, curated and coordinated by Andrea Busto and the sections are curated by Luca Beatrice, Lorenzo Canova, Claudio Cerritelli, Marco Meneguzzo, Elena Pontiggia, Luigi Sansone and Giorgio Verzotti.
