A series of special events will celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Estorick Collection, which specialises in modern Italian art, in Canonbury Square.
Included in the celebrations will be a special exhibition of works by 20th Century still-life painter and printmaker Giorgio Morani, with the entire 50-work collection being shown for the first time in the UK.
Director Roberta Cremoncini said: “The Estorick Collection’s 25th anniversary will be celebrated on 28 January, the day the museum opened, with many different events, and celebrations will continue throughout the year with special displays and activities in the museum and gardens.”
“The exhibition on display in January will be the work of renowned Italian artist Giorgio Morandi and an exhibition by Osvaldo Licini will follow in late spring,” she added.
A party will be held at the Estorick Collection premises later in the year, which will be attended by the Italian Ambassador.
The Collection is known internationally for its core of Futurist works, as well as figurative art and sculpture dating from 1890 to the 1950s.
The museum opened in London in 1998 in a Grade II listed Georgian townhouse that was originally restored with support from the Heritage Lottery Fund and has been described as London’s cultural centre for 20th-century Italian art.
The exhibition runs 6 January – 30 April 2023. Tickets are available here.
