At the Mart in Rovereto, an exhibition on the long friendship between Leonor Fini and Fabrizio Clerici

From July 16 to November 5, 2023, the Mart in Rovereto presents the exhibition Leonor Fini Fabrizio Clerici. Insomnia, from an idea by Vittorio Sgarbi and curated by Denis Isaia and Giulia Tulino. The exhibition is dedicated to the long and deep friendship that, between Rome and Paris, starting in the 1940s, bound Leonor Fini and Fabrizio Clerici. In their works lives thesurreal, introspective and metaphysicalimagery of Italian fantastic art, recently rediscovered by both art history and the market.

More than four hundred works, including paintings, drawings, photographs, videos, documents, theatrical sketches, costumes and objects, in a chronological and philological arrangement interspersed with numerous thematic lunges dedicated to the passions shared by the two artists, to present the work of Fini and Clerici by comparing it with the works of their masters, such as Giorgio de Chirico, Alberto Savinio, Arturo Nathan, Bruno Croatto, but also of their fellow travelers, such as Stanislao Lepri, Eugène Berman, Pavel Tchelitchew and of their heirs, such as Enrico d’Assia and Eros Renzetti.

The exhibition aims to describe a time characterized by deep heterogeneity and cultural curiosity, between the fantastic and the neo-romantic, through the lives of two of its major and original protagonists.
