Highlights
Program:
- Contemporary Mosaics
The recently reinstalled collection at MAR represents a striking example of the living tradition of mosaic art. The exhibition traces the development of this ancient technique from the second decade of the twentieth century to the present, highlighting key moments such as the historic Exhibition of Modern Mosaics in 1959.
This latter event marked a turning point in the renewal of mosaic art, and its works constitute the core of the collection. Among the masterpieces on display are works by internationally renowned artists such as Afro, Chagall, Guttuso, Mathieu, Saetti, and Vedova, to name a few.
