With Michelangelo, the human body reached a peak of expressive intensity. His sculptures, carved from marble, seem to live, breathe, and move.
Today, contemporary artists take up that same challenge: to tell the story of the body through new materials, new forms, and new emotions.
The “After Michelangelo” selection features sculptures that do not seek classical perfection, but the authenticity of the present. Fragmented figures, suspended bodies, rough or polished surfaces—each work is an exploration of the human condition.
These sculptures speak to us of identity, memory, physical presence, and absence.
Michelangelo searched for life within marble; today’s artists find it in matter that changes, breaks, and reinvents itself.
A journey through bodies sculpted in our time—at once heirs to tradition and radical departures from it.
