Carlo Scarpa Drawings for Venice Biennale Architecture and Drawings (1948–1968)

This exhibition, conceived and organised by “MAXXI_Museo Nazionale delle Arti del XXI secolo” in Rome (National Arts Museum of the XXI Century), showcases the works of Carlo Scarpa (Venice, 1906–1978), commissioned by the Venice Biennale, from 1948 to 1968, through twelve exhibits that reproduce thirty-six drawings selected out of the huge number of those preserved in the professional archive. Realised and unrealised works, many of which are still unknown to the public, witness the close, longstanding and significant cooperation between Scarpa and the Venice Biennale. Details
