Peggy Guggenheim Art Addict. Seeing a preview of a movie is certainly a unique opportunity, but watching a private and exclusive show is something almost extraordinary, and it happened to me!
A few days ago, thanks to a tweet, or maybe it was the hand of fate, I had the chance to watch Peggy Guggenheim: Art Addict, which will be on at cinemas from March 14th 2016.
Antonio Vivarini and Giovanni d’Alemagna, Sant’Apollonia accecata, 1440-1445 ca., Bergamo, Accademia Carrara (dentail)
Vivarini family. An exhibition illustrating works by a family of artists is always something special, and the exhibition that has just been launched at Palazzo Sarcinelli in Conegliano, is one of these.
As it happened for the exhibition held Bologna, dedicated to the Brueghel family, even on this occasion I couldn’t help searching in the tour of the exhibition the events happened to the members of a high talented Venetian family of artist, the Vivarini family.
Once again, this year the Affordable Art Fair returns to Milan so that you can discover the latest art trends in art world, meet gallerists and artists, but especially you can purchase pieces of art.
The 2016 Affordable Art Fair will be held from 17 to 20 March at Superstudio Più in Milan and will offer, as always, pieces of art on sale at affordable prices, up to a maximum of € 6,000, choosing them from the 84 national and international participating galleries.
But there will be a lot of novelties.
This year a special section will be dedicated to Street Art, with a live performance by Ivan Tresoldi and No Curves.
Other themed sections of the past editions will be on show: Main, Photography, Exchange, and Young, which will exhibit the 5 Young Talents and the 9 Young Galleries selected among 600 contestants.
I also participated in the last year’s edition with the project “Facce da Blogger” (“Blogger Faces”) by Elena Datrino and by the Galleria Vittoria in Milan and this year you will enjoy my self-portrait among the works on display. Basically, I’m a living piece of art! : )
Among the events you can’t miss, there will be history of art lessons for all, in order to discover together with experts how to understand the latest art trends. Fausto Gilberti will talk about “The Artist’s Shit by Piero Manzoni and other art histories”; Denis Curtis will discuss the theme “The ambiguity of photography”; Flavio Caroli “The face of the West” and Luca Rossi will ironically talk about “Why Ikea evolved can save us”.
A special space will be devoted to children.
Children will approach art world through a series of interactive workshop and will have a great time during the Asian Night through a workshop dedicated to Korean KPOP dance.
Within a varied programme, the Affordable Art Fair again this year will keep its date with the Art Night Out, that is the Nuit Blanche dedicated to the art, which on March 18th will transform Milan into a special place where you will discover artist studios, designer showrooms and Street Art through themed itineraries around the city.

The exhibition El Greco in Italy. Metamorphosis of a Genius organized by Kornice in Treviso at the Casa dei Carraresi, reaches the main goal of the curator professor Lionello Puppi, that is to have the opportunity to study and to try to solve some mysteries which are still wrapped around El Greco’s artistic career and life.
As I wrote in my post El Greco in Italy where you can read my review, the exhibition thrilled me.
A list of exhibitions you can’t miss in March 2016, three of which will be opened this month and are really longed-for (you’ll find them at the end of the post).
As always, I invite you all to write your own comments about the exhibitions you recommend to visit.
