Until August 23, the Palazzo Strozzi Foundation will host one of the most important exhibits ever dedicated to Mark Rothko, the indisputable master of American modern art, directed by Christopher Rothko—the painter's son—and Elena Geuna. The exhibition features approximately 70 pieces from important international museums like MoMA and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Tate in London, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, as well as paintings never previously exhibited in Italy. The project is more than just a retrospective; it spans three exceptional Florentine venues—Palazzo Strozzi, the Museo di San Marco, where five works are displayed in Beato Angelico's frescoed cells, and the Vestibule of Michelangelo's Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana—creating a remarkable dialogue between American abstraction and the Italian Renaissance. Two months after its debut, the show had already attracted over 150,000 visitors, and the figure continues to rise.
