The exhibition "Anish Kapoor Untrue Unreal” presents historical and recent works, including a new production specifically designed in dialogue with the architecture of the Renaissance courtyard.
The unreal (Unreal) mixes with theunlikely (untrue)
The exhibition curated by Arturo Galasino general manager of Palazzo Strozzi Foundation leads us to the boundaries between true and false in a unique dimension made of empty and full spaces where the works have geometric and biomorphic shapes with the aim of exploring the unlikely and the real.
