With his usual biting and humorous way of subverting orders, Francesco Vezzoli embroiders shiny lurex tears flowing from the eyes of Madonnas and Magdalenes in iconic works of art from the past. Tears and weeping become pure aesthetics in Vezzoli’s hands. His radical and innovative experimentation finds an ideal home at the Correr Museum for an intimate and emotionally contemporary reinterpretation of past works. An investigation of the lost tears in the history of art.
