Pablo Atchugarry: La vita della Materia, Milan

In the Sala delle Cariatidi, at the Palazzo Reale from 27 October until january 2022 will be hold a great monographic exhibition of Pablo Atchugarry, a well-known Uruguayan sculptor, who since the 1970s has been divided between Italy, the United States and Uruguay.

Promoted and produced by the Municipality of Milan Cultura, Palazzo Reale, Skira Editore and Euromobil Group, Zalf, Désirée, the exhibition is curated by the art critic Marco Meneguzzo, in collaboration with the artist, and created in the setting by Reggiani for the lighting part.

The exhibition aims to be a point of reflection and a tribute to the great career of Pablo Atchugarry, a sculptor who with his international fame, the curriculum of exhibitions, the presence in the most important collections in the world, and his global market results, constitutes the real example of an artist who was able to concentrate the globalized taste of all collectors and experts in the world in his work.

“There are many secrets. I once wrote that marble has a thin and delicate voice, but if we are attentive and have the patience to listen to it, it tells us several secrets that could be suggestions on how to work it, or how far to go and what are its limits” Pablo Atchugarry states.

The exhibition translates a project that is particularly complex in various aspects, including the weight and number of works - over 40, which vary over the years of production - that interact with the very present and evocative architecture of the Sala delle Cariatidi; the latter still bears the signs of the fire that devastated it during the war.
