Twenty years after his death, a major retrospective dedicated to Mimmo Rotella, one of the most influential figures in 20th-century contemporary art, is coming to the Ducal Palace of Genoa. The exhibition "Mimmo Rotella. 1945–2005", curated by Alberto Fiz and created in collaboration with the Mimmo Rotella Foundation, will be open from 24 April to 13 September 2026. Mimmo Rotella (Catanzaro, 7 October 1918 – Milan, 8 January 2006) was an artist whose language, like few others, was capable of recounting the birth and evolution of the image and consumer society. On display are over one hundred works divided into five themed sections to cover the artist's entire creative journey, which spanned more than sixty years of research, such as "Naturalistico" (1953), a collage on canvas with mirrors and glass, "La tigre" (1962), "Il punto e mezzo" (1963), his very first work on the world of advertising, and "Tenera è la notte" (1962), with a selection of works dedicated to the world-famous icon Marilyn Monroe. “Senza titolo”, a décollage on a three-metre sheet of metal, and “Attenti”, his last great décollage, date from the 1990s. The exhibition is enriched by archive materials and audiovisual documents.
