Event
Armory Week SoHo Arts Open House
In honor of Armory Arts Week, CIMA is offering a special open house on Saturday March 5th from 11am to 5pm. Entry is free. RSVP is required.
The Center for Italian Modern Art was established in 2013 to promote the study and appreciation of Italian twentieth-century art. Each year, from October to June, we focus on one artist, often little known or rarely exhibited in the United States, as the theme or platform for our annual installation, public programming, and fellowship program.
Our third season is devoted to the painter and printmaker GIORGIO MORANDI (1890-1964), one of the best known Italian artists of the 20th century. CIMA's installation focuses on the artist's rarely seen works from the 1930s -- the decade when Morandi reached full artistic maturity and developed his distinctive pictorial language. These works until now have remained relatively little known outside of Italy. Featuring some 40 paintings, etchings, and drawings drawn from major public and private collections, the installation marks the first time in decades that many of these works have been on view in the US. A few works by contemporary artists Joel Meyerowitz, Tacita Dean, Matthias Schaller, and Wolfgang Laib are exhibited in conjunction with the installation, offering another means of approaching Morandi.
CIMA is conceived more as a home, in order to offer an intimate art viewing experience, different from what you might find in a typical museum or gallery. On our regular Friday and Saturday visits, the group is limited to 15 people and you are invited to have an espresso, talk with the fellows, and linger afterward. We encourage you to come and experience a real CIMA visit by booking a tour for another weekend as well!
