Exhibition walkthrough<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n
\n
\n\n

The exhibition will host such fundamental works as Anish Kapoor<\/strong>\u2019s 1000 Names<\/em> (1983) and Damien Hirst<\/strong>\u2019s Love Is Great<\/em> (1994), alongside an extensive selection of work by Maurizio Cattelan<\/strong>, an artist whose work is crucial to any exploration of Italian art between the 1990s and the 2000s, together with work by Paola Pivi <\/strong>and Lara Favaretto<\/strong>, among others. The exhibition unfolds in themed sections such as the section dominated by Cindy Sherman<\/strong>\u2019s celebrated series known as Untitled Film Still<\/em> (1978\u201380) triggering a social and political reflection on the theme of identity in connection with works by Shirin Neshat<\/strong>, Barbara Kruger<\/strong>\u2019s silkscreen print Untitled <\/em>(Not ugly enough<\/em>) (1997) and Pawel Althamer<\/strong> \u2018s sculpture in organic material entitled Self-Portrait<\/em> (1993). The exploration of sculpture expands to include large works by Andra Ursu\u0163a<\/strong>, Adrian Villar Rosa<\/strong>, Berlinde De Bruyckere<\/strong> and Mark Manders<\/strong> whose art investigates the body and the figure amid deconstruction and reassembly. This is echoed by an exploration of painting in the work of such artists as Lynette Yiadom-Boakye<\/strong>, Sanya Kantarovsky<\/strong>, Michael Armitage<\/strong>, Cecily Brown,<\/strong> and Avery Singer<\/strong>, testifying to the medium\u2019s ongoing vitality between the figurative and the abstract, particularly among the younger generation. The exhibition is completed by a large section on video art with signature work by such artists as William Kentridge<\/strong> with his History of Main Complaint<\/em> (1996), Douglas Gordon<\/strong> and Philippe Parreno<\/strong> with his celebrated video-installation entitled Zidane. A 21st <\/sup>Century Portrait<\/em> (2005).<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n
