Experiencing a work of art requires that we maintain some distance, without which the experience would be weakened, but not too much distance, if we wish to keep the work’s density: we need to be “at close range”. Thus, at the reopening to the public of the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art after the closure due to the health emergency in 2020, the works of Afro, Robert Adams, Franco Angeli, Stefano Arienti, Luciano Bartolini, Alberto Burri, Enrico Castellani, Giuseppe Capogrossi, Ettore Colla, Pietro Consagra, Daniela De Lorenzo, Giacomo Ginotti, Luisa Lambri, Bice Lazzari, Alberto Magnelli, Fausto Melotti, Paolo Meoni, Mirko, Gastone Novelli, Pino Pascali, Achille Perilli, Corrado Sassi, Toti Scialoja, preserved in the Gallery's repositories, have been arranged on the walls and tables of the Central Hall, activating new dialogues and connections with the works of the permanent exhibition with which they are composed and intertwined.
