Bice Lazzari

From 16 October 2025 to 7 January 2026, Palazzo Citterio will present the first major exhibition in Italy dedicated to Bice Lazzari. One hundred and ten works recount over forty years of history of an artist who crossed the entire 20th century, leaving a profound and unmistakable mark.

Curated by Renato Miracco
Texts by Dorothy Kosinsky and Christine Macel

Curated by Renato Miracco in collaboration with the Bice Lazzari Archive and the GNAMC – National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rome, the exhibition includes over 110 works from Italian and foreign museums and collections, such as the Ca’ Pesaro – International Gallery of Modern Art in Venice, the Salomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York and the Phillips Collection in Washington D.C..

The exhibition covers the artist’s entire career: from mural art to the decoration of the Raffaello motor ship, from fabric designs commissioned by Gio Ponti to acquisitions by the National Gallery in Rome with Palma Bucarelli. 

His unmistakable style, characterised by lines, rhythm and colour, reveals an intimate and consistent exploration, able to dialogue with the Italian and European avant-garde. This is a unique opportunity to rediscover an artist who spanned the entire 20th century, leaving a profound and unmistakable mark thanks to his unique, solitary and authentic language.
