Masterpieces by Giorgio de Chirico, Salvador Dalí and Andy Warhol will go on show in Milan as part of an itinerant exhibition returning art to the public from the clutches of organised crime.
Called SalvArti, the exhibition at the Palazzo Reale museum will include 80 modern and contemporary artworks confiscated in separate police operations in 2015 and 2018. “We have taken art from the hands of criminals and returned them to the community so that the works can be studied and loved,” Domenico Piraina, Milan’s head of culture, told The Times. “This is not merely a cultural initiative but a question of justice.”
The displays will include De Chirico’s Piazza d’Italia, Carlo Carrà’s Capanno sulla riva (1955) and Mario Sironi’s Composizione astratta, scena
