Exhibition
Bruno Munari (Milan, 1907-1998), described by Picasso as “a Leonardo of our time”, is one of those practically unknown artists who had a significant impact on 20th century culture. Curated by Marco Meneguzzo, Manuel Fontán del Junco and Aida Capa, the exhibition covers all aspects of Munari’s artistic production and highlights the breadth of tools used by the creator in his always experimental and innovative plastic and visual research.
The exhibition was made possible thanks to the will of the owners, who lent Munari works over this long period of time. Fondazione Jacqueline Vodoz e Bruno Danese in Milan, Repetto Gallery in London, Lafuente Archive, Helga de Alvear Contemporary Art Museum, Cadaqués Gallery, Ugo Mulas Archive and various private collections stand out.
The exhibition will then move to the Fundación Juan March Museum in Palma and later to the Spanish Museum of Abstract Art in Cuenca.
