Teniqua Clementine Crawford, Fragment Horizon, 2024, Oil and charcoal on linen, 80 × 60 cm

The exhibition entitled Breasts curated by Carolina Pasti presents the works of over thirty artists from all over the world, who from 1500 to today, through painting, sculpture, photography or cinema have reflected on a multitude of themes symbolized by the female anatomical part protagonist of the exhibition. From motherhood to empowerment, from sexuality to body image and disease, the breast becomes an emblematic catalyst for a profound reflection on the different socio-political realities, to challenge historical traditions and express personal and collective identities, as well as raise public awareness on the issue of cancer. The exhibition unfolds in five chapters set up in the rooms on the main floor of the palace from which a visual and metaphorical exploration unfolds, starting from the iconography of the Madonna del Latte (Madonna of the Milk) by the Renaissance Masters, to move on to the "Portraits of History" by Cindy Sherman, the works of contemporary artists such as Richard Dupont, Teniqua Crawford and Sherrie Levine, the multimedia or photographic works of art by Marcel Duchamp, Allen Jones, Prune Nourry, Robert Mapplethorpe, Irving Penn, Oliviero Toscani, Hsu Che-yu Chloe Wise, Sarah Lucas, Louise Bourgeois, Laure Prouvost, Aurora Pellizzi or Laure Prouvost among others.
