A conversation at the Bosio Pavilion with Nathalie Du Pasquier, Valérie Da Costa, and Mathilde Roman, as part of the «Women are Beautiful» exhibition. The exhibition brings together four Italian artists from different generations, offering a perspective on Italian art from the second half of the 20th century to the present. It explores their reflections on painting, sculpture, and design. From Carla Accardi’s 1960s paintings that open the exhibition to Marisa Merz and Nathalie Du Pasquier’s 2010s works, and Cinzia Ruggeri’s pieces from the 1980s-1990s, the exhibition provides a unique view of female creation in Italy. The conference will be followed by the opening of the Women are Beautiful exhibition, which will be on display from March 28 to May 16, 2025, at the Société des Abeilles, 8 Quai Antoine 1er. The artists involved are Carla Accardi, Nathalie Du Pasquier, Marisa Merz, and Cinzia Ruggeri, with scenography curated by students of the “Décors” program at the Bosio Pavilion: Maria Magdalena David and Illona Rougemond-Moscon.
