Estorick Collection Uncut

Grouped thematically, and spotlighting movements such as Futurism and Metaphysical Art, the display also featured works by major sculptors such as Mario Marini and Giacomo Manzù, and imagery by those painters to whom the Estoricks were particularly close: Massimo Campigli, Renato Guttuso and Zoran Music. Other artists, including Modigliani and Mario Sironi, were also the subjects of focused displays. Additionally, Estorick Collection Uncut featured a selection of striking volumes from the museum’s library, including a number of rare Futurist manifestos and journals.

The exhibition represented an unmissable opportunity to explore what has been described as “one of the finest collections of early twentieth-century Italian art anywhere in the world”.

The top two galleries were devoted to works by Giorgio Morandi (1890-1964), and new responses to these by British artist Paul Coldwell (b.1952) in a new display, A Still Life: Paul Coldwell in Dialogue with Giorgio Morandi.
