Milan, 80 contemporary artists in an exhibition at Palazzo Reale

From March 7 to May 4, 2025, Palazzo Reale in Milan is hosting the exhibition From Cindy Sherman to Francesco Vezzoli. 80 Contemporary Artists, an event that brings into dialogue more than 140 works by 80 of the most important protagonists of world contemporary art. An exhibition path that crosses different geographies and artistic languages, addressing the social and cultural transformations of our time through the works of artists of the caliber of Cindy Sherman, Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, Nan Goldin, Nicole Eisenman, Kiki Smith, Marc Quinn, Lisetta Carmi and Francesco Vezzoli.

The exhibition, curated by Daniele Fenaroli with the scientific support of Vincenzo De Bellis, stems from the unprecedented contemporary section of the Giuseppe Iannaccone Collection and is a journey through the most innovative artistic expressions of our time. The executive production is entrusted to Arthemisia, while the exhibition is promoted by the City of Milan - Culture, Palazzo Reale and the Giuseppe Iannaccone Foundation.

Art and society: a dialogue without boundaries

The common thread of the exhibition is the dialogue between artists from different cultural backgrounds on issues central to contemporary society. The body, constantly changing identity, multiculturalism and interactions between East and West are some of the themes explored through works that reflect the complexity of the present. The exhibition invites the public to question social and cultural changes, offering a critical and sensitive look at inescapable issues of our time.

The works on display tell different stories and visions, in a comparison of artistic approaches ranging from photography to painting, from sculpture to installation. The aim is to stimulate reflection on how contemporary art manages to interpret and anticipate changes in society, acting as a mirror of reality and a tool for investigating current phenomena.
