Contemporary art in Florence: Review of “Manipulating Reality” @Strozzina

mik_aernout_rawfootage-300x229This Fall (until late Jan 2010), Palazzo Strozzi offers two important exhibits on realism and art. The major show “Art and Illusions – Masterpieces of Trompe l’Oeil” has received a lot of attention from the press, including a long review in the New York Times. The show “Manipulating Reality” in the basement Strozzina area for contemporary art, on the other hand, has not been reviewed on an international scale, and yet it fully deserves a visit, a review, and consideration both on its own and in relation to the exhibit upstairs…

Read my review of Manipulating Reality on the turismo.intoscana.it blog.

Get into every exhibit at Palazzo Strozzi for only 20 euros from now until the end of January 2011 (!!!) with the “Palazzo Ticket” – I got one!
