Works from Collezione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo
“Contemporary Monuments, 1981-2008”
The exhibition brings together over 29 contemporary sculptures by 23 key players on the international art scene. Selected from the significant collection of PatriziaSandretto Re Rebaudengo, the powerful impact of these sculptures, which are wrought from highly disparate materials, question our view of reality and serve as a metaphoricrepresentation of the world in which we live. Unforgettable works commenting on social transformations like Maurizio Cattelan’s suicidal squirrel and Thomas Hirschhorn’s antiwar monument contrast with the refined, reflective formality of Tobias Rehberger’s vases, while the delicate works wrought by the young Bojan Sarcevic enter into a dialogue with Sarah Lucas’ ironic representation of sexuality on an outsize egg and Yinka Shonibare’s dummies and their insights into the absurdities of racial stereotypes.
