LEI. Ritratti di donne, da Van Gogh a Modigliani e oltre

Parma (PR)

Palazzo del Governatore, Parma

Open in Google Maps ↗

From October 2, 2026 to March 8, 2027, the Palazzo del Governatore in Parma hosts "LEI. Ritratti di donne, da Van Gogh a Modigliani e oltre", a major exhibition produced by the Municipality of Parma together with the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea in Rome. The exhibition brings together over 60 masterpieces, including works by Van Gogh, Modigliani and Picasso, to tell two centuries of art through the female figure. The exhibition, curated by Renata Cristina Mazzantini and Cesare Biasini Selvaggi, follows a chronological and thematic path that shows the transition of women from inspiring muse to active protagonist. The paintings and sculptures, many of which have never been exhibited outside the GNAM before, offer an unprecedented look at the representation of women in modern and contemporary art. The exhibition also celebrates the 80th anniversary of women's suffrage, intertwining art history and social history in a narrative that spans from the 19th to the 20th century.
