Riotous Baroque: From Cattelan to Zurbarán
June 18–October 6, 2013Featuring contemporary artworks presented alongside 17th-century paintings, this exhibition attempts to extricate the concept of the baroque from established clichés and traditional perceptions. With a clear shift away from pomp, ornament, and gold, it focuses on the baroque as a celebration of the precarious vitality that was hailed, rediscovered, lost, projected, and threatened by death.
