An exhibition occupying for the first time all the spaces of the former Church of Sant’Agnese in Padua, resuming the uninterrupted dialogue of Fondazione Alberto Peruzzo with a great Maestro of Italian contemporary art, Fabrizio Plessi: this is Nero Oro, the monographic exhibition curated by Riccardo Caldura that will open to the public from 6 April to 13 October 2024. After Mari Verticalipresented in 2011 at the Venice Pavilion of the Biennale Giardini, Liquid Life. Liquid Light at the Art Biennale in 2015, and L’Anima di Pietra in 2018 at the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, once again Padua and the Foundation, on the occasion of the 60th Venice Art Biennale, pay homage to a great Venetian artist by adoption, who turns 84 in those same days. The Nero Oro project consists of three moments articulated in the three main areas of the 12th century building: in the Nave, a gold work, the archetype of a mosaic, ideally dialogues with the fragments of a 14th-century fresco found during the restoration and still on display in the former church; in the Hypogeum, where some archaeological finds are exhibited, a flow of gold seems to invade the remains of a Roman road that is still visible; in the Sacristy, over 100 drawings tell the evolution of the theme of Gold in Plessi’s poetics.
