TORN CURTAIN
“To insist that a storyteller stick to the facts is just as ridiculous as to demand of a representative painter that he show objects accurately.” Alfred Hitchcock
Torn Curtain. Buongiorno, buonasera is an exhibition which has stumbled out from an ‘elective habit’ long shared between Hélène de Franchis and Luca Massimo Barbero and their two distinct paths. Here, the lady, a gallery owner for over 53 years, and the young man who went on to become a curator and art history professor have chosen the title of an Alfred Hitchcock film, as Barbero is wont to do in some of his projects. The encounter between these two personalities will begin by stepping through a curtain into a Hitchcockian script where the clues are all in the hidden details of the works and in mysterious relationships between them: a bestiary in Deco bronze and Lucio Fontana, a devilish and symbolist painter like Mario De Maria or Alberto Martini, Giorgio de Chirico or Wilhelm von Gloeden, Arturo Tosi or Markus Lüpertz conspire together with some contemporary artists and starting from the great masters reach up to the very new generations. A mysterious and unusual exhibition, a syncopated duet between the curators and the audience, in which impossible dialogues between various leading actors are staged. Over 60 works on display including a plunge into the 1980s, photography and fashion, international artists and ink nudes linked, untied, to the fragile world of ceramics, 20th century landscapes, abstract works, as well as engravings and drawings full of mystery and apocalypse.

Special Show - leading and emerging women artists
Galerie Karsten Greve AG is pleased to present its Winter Special Show: leading and emerging women artists in its gallery in St. Moritz. Shining a spotlight on the stunning achievements of women artists since the early 1930s, the exhibition features a tightly curated selection of works ranging from Louise Bourgeois’ masterpieces such as the marble Baroque (1970), her cloth sculpture Arch of Hysteria(2000) or the bronze cast Woman with a Secret (1947), to minimalist works of ink on paper by one of the leading French abstract artists Pierrette Bloch, to contemporary masters such as Leiko Ikemura, Catherine Lee, Georgia Russell and Claire Morgan.
While coming from different backgrounds, they all subtly hold up a mirror to us and create a balance between reality and spirituality through the exploration of fear and fragility carefully balanced with strength and love. Sharing sensible explorations of their individual narratives through a variety of mediums and techniques – sculpture, painting, drawing, photography, ceramics and installations.

Developed over the course of six expeditions that began in 1986, Davis’s photographs evidence strong affinities with the spare geometry of minimalist sculpture and track the dramatic transformation of the natural environment.
