Una specie di tenerezza

The paintings of Marlene Dumas finally dock in Venice, between February and March. The colonnade of Palazzo Grassi is filled with the wooden cases used to transport her works; arriving from museums and private collections from all around the world. The first great personal of Dumas in Italy, "open-end", is being set up. The registrar and supervisor of the exhibition takes care to collect the works and prepare them. Meanwhile, Dumas herself has arrived in the lagoon to follow the works closely. Amongst the over one-hundred paintings, there is also a portrait of Pasolini, of her mother, of the poet Charles Baudelaire, and of Marilyn Monroe.
With the contribution of Marlene Dumas, Claudia De Zordo, Donatien Grau, Elisabeth Lebovici.
