-Accompanies a splendid exhibition devoted to the art of the second half of the 16th century in Florence -A unique opportunity to celebrate the outstanding cultural and intellectual era From 22 September 2017 to 21 January 2018 Palazzo Strozzi will be hosting a splendid exhibition devoted to the art of the second half of the 16th century in Florence, the third and final act in a trilogy which began with Bronzino ISBN 9788874611546, in 2010 and was followed by Pontormo and Rosso Fiorentino ISBN 9788874612161, in 2014. Curated by Carlo Falciani and Antonio Natali, the show, and this accompanying book, explores the development of Florentine art in the second half of the century through the painting, sculpture, and draughtsmanship of such artists as Andrea del Sarto, Bronzino, Pontormo, Giorgio Vasari, Giambologna and Bartolomeo Ammannati. The exhibition will also provide a unique opportunity to celebrate the outstanding cultural and intellectual era that was marked by the Council of Trent and its Counter-Reformation, and by the figure of Francesco I de Medici, one of the most outstanding figures in the history of court patronage of the arts in Europe.
In 1956, Palazzo Strozzi hosted the exhibition 'Pontormo and Early Florentine Mannerism', in which Pontormo's work was displayed alongside that of Rosso Fiorentino, Beccafumi and other adepts of the new and unconventional trend in painting. Almost sixty years later, Palazzo Strozzi has decided to hold an exhibition devoted to only two of that movement's leading lights, Pontormo and Rosso Fiordentino. In exploring the work of the two greatest Florentine exponents of what 20th-century critics christened 'Mannerism', the exhibition, and this accompanying volume, aims to track the chronological development of the movement.

A Jeff Koons overview thematizing "shine" as aesthetic substance and motif across his five-decade career This volume is published for Jeff Koons' (born 1955) largest ever exhibition in Italy, developed in close dialogue with the artist, and presenting some of the most celebrated works of this master who, from the mid-1970s until the present day, has forged a reputation as one of the most important figures of the global contemporary art scene. Responsible for countless works that have entered the collective imagination, Koons regards "shine" as a key feature of his artwork--from the postmodern reinvention of the readymade to works in perfectly polished metal that resemble inflatable toys. Indeed, "shine" is far more than an ornament: it is the very substance of these works, as this reflective property brings together appearance and essence. Shinegathers paintings and sculptures on loan from international collections and museums in order to explore the concept of "shine," calling into question our relationship with daily reality and with the very concept of a work of art.
The exhibition recreates the complex relationship between the arts and the Fascist regime in the decade before World War II. This dramatic era was blighted by propaganda and persecution, but it was also a time when the freer spirits proved capable of sowing the seeds of modernity, particularly in the fields of architecture, town planning, design, photography and graphic art; while in the spheres of painting and sculpture, how can anyone forget the names of Funi, Savinio, de Chirico, Wildt, Donghi, Sironi, Fontana, Licini, Severini or Guttuso? This richly illustrated catalogue with its highly original format explores and analyses the many fascinating different aspects of the era.
'Art in Renaissance Italy' sets the art of that time in its context, exploring why it was created and in particular looking at who commissioned the palaces and cathedrals, the paintings and the sculptures.
