In the context of the exhibition "Carlo Scarpa and the Arts at the Biennale. Works and Glass from the Gemin Collection" the Gypsotheca Antonio Canova Museum hosts the lecture The Loves of Luciano Gemin, curated by Elisabetta Barisoni. The talk offers an in-depth look at the figure of Luciano Gemin as a collector, analyzing the choices that guided the formation of his collection, particularly in the fields of painting and sculpture.
Through a critical reading of Gemin's collecting, the lecture highlights two fundamental directions in his research: on one hand, a love for the classical forms of plastic art, and on the other, a parallel and intense focus on the line of lyrical abstraction.
A narrative that conveys the complexity of an educated and personal perspective, capable of bringing together tradition and modernity, and that offers the audience new keys to understanding the Gemin Collection and the dialogue between the arts that runs throughout the exhibition.
