The young woman with feathered hat Tiziano Vecellio is one of the main works of the current exhibition at the Palazzo Reale in Milan which has just opened a few weeks ago. It is about to return to Russia as the work of Picasso currently exhibited at the Fendi Foundation and many others owned by Russian museums whose return has been requested. Art has also entered the war. If in Ukraine we work to secure works of art and historic centers, fly he asks that works loaned for exhibitions in museums around the world, in that world in particular that imposed sanctions on Russia, be returned to their homeland.
All the institutions that belong to the Moscow Ministry of Culture the works lent must be returned. In addition to those mentioned there are 25 in the exhibition dedicated to the Grand Tour at the Gallerie d’Italia in Milan, created in collaboration with the Hermitage and several by Kandinskij on display from February 26 at Palazzo Roverella in Rovigo. There is also the Mattioli collection, works by Boccioni, Morandi, Balla arrived in Milan on free loan for five years at the Museo del Novecento.
“It seems clear to me that when an owner requests the return of his works, they must be returned”, said the Minister of Culture. Dario Franceschini. The ministry has suspended all activities for the Cross Year of the Italy-Russia museums with immediate effect. France, Great Britain, Spain and Austria have canceled their art loans for the exhibition The Duelwhich was to take place from March 3 to June 16.
This too is the result of sanctions. Not that it has been chosen at a European level to hit art and the world of entertainment, but it has become an almost inevitable consequence, even if not without controversy. Moscow’s request for the return of works on loan is one thing, another is the decision to exclude artists as happened at Fotografia Europea, the Reggio Emilia festival, which banned Russia as a host country and excluded the Russian photographer. Alexander Gronsky, himself arrested in Moscow during anti-war protests. Russia is out of the international manifestations of art and entertainment and who among its representatives does not condemn the war is out as the conductor of the Scala Valery Gergiev and the soprano Anna Netrebko.
Opens to Ukraine, Il Maxxi in Rome has just inaugurated the Ukraine: Short Stories exhibition, and it will close to Russia. From book fairs to cultural institutions to excesses such as the own goal of the Bicocca University which had canceled the lessons of the writer Paolo Nori on Dostoevsky. The closure is in Moscow and the Russian institutions, but it falls on its artists. In these days the Circus-Theater Elysium Oleksandr Sakharov in Kiev is on tour in Italy with the show Alice in Wonderland. The members of the group said to Corriere della Sera: «We strongly condemn the war and the way in which Russian artists and intellectuals are treated today. Culture has nothing to do with crazy political decisions. Art helps to see things better, to give direction. But it has nothing to do with villainy. Russian artists are our brothers ».
