Medardo Rosso Study Day
The Center for Italian Modern Art is pleased to present a Study Day on Medardo Rosso (1858-1928), the subject of CIMA's 2014-15 season. This program offers the opportunity to explore various aspects of the artist's career and practice, focusing in particular on his experimental photographic practice and on his relations with his French contemporaries, especially Rodin and Degas.
The Center for Italian Modern Art, located in SoHo, was founded in 2013 to promote new scholarship and dialogue around 20th-century Italian art through an annual exhibition, a fellowship program, and a variety of public programming. MEDARDO ROSSO, the subject of the 2014-15 season, is on view until June 27, 2015. This exhibition features nearly a dozen sculptures, in wax, plaster, and bronze, as well as -- for the first time in the United States -- a large selection of the artist's drawings and experimental photography. CIMA is open for visits on Fridays and Saturdays at 11am, 1pm, and 3pm.
Entry to the Medardo Rosso Study Day is free to CIMA members and students. All other tickets cost $20. Student IDs will be checked. Lunch, provided by Giovanni Rana Pastificio e Cucina, is included. Espresso courtesy of CIMA sponsor Lavazza USA.
