From Friday, October 31, 2025 to Monday, April 6, 2026, Pinacoteca Agnelli presents the first retrospective in Italy dedicated to the American artist Alice Neel (Marion Square, PA 1900 - New York 1984), one of the most significant painters of the 20th century. Alice Neel: I Am the Century is curated by Sarah Cosulich and Pietro Rigolo, and offers an engaging perspective on the artist's work, highlighting her pioneering gaze and her interest in humanity in all its forms. Alice Neel is one of the great pioneers of the 1900s, a revolutionary painter whose approach to portraiture touched on fundamental human, social, and political issues - far ahead of her time. Thanks to her unique painting style, characterized by a spontaneous yet precise way of conveying the nature and deep character of her subjects, Alice Neel's work still influences generations of artists today. Blending realism and surrealism, with a stern gaze and emphatic brushstrokes, Neel managed to read the human soul in its deepest folds. Following a chronological timeline spanning seven decades of the 20th century, "I Am the Century" at Pinacoteca Agnelli delves into the idea of Alice Neel as a "chronicler of life" and her paintings as representations of the "human comedy." Structured in six chapters intertwined with her biography, the project highlights the artist's unique relationship with subjects and their life stories, from birth to death, through growth into adulthood, the development of sexuality, the creation of relationships and bonds, as well as the formation of civic and political consciousness. The exhibition explores the evolution of the artist's style over time, indirectly emphasizing how her revolutionary practice contrasts with the historical artistic canons of portraiture and the traditional male perspective, which is also represented within the Permanent Collection of the Pinacoteca Agnelli.
