Ugo Mulas. The process of photography
10th October 2024 - 2nd February 2025

From 10 October 2024 to 2 February 2025 Palazzo Reale in Milan presents Ugo Mulas.

The process of photography, one of the most extensive and detailed retrospective dedicated to one of his most important authors, born in 1928 and died in 1973. Promoted by the City of Milan-Cultura and produced by Palazzo Reale and Marsilio Arte in collaboration with the Ugo Mulas Archive, with the support of the Deloitte Foundation and Deloitte Italy, the exhibition curated by Denis Curti, director of Le Stanze della Fotografia in Venice, and Alberto Salvadori, director of the Ugo Mulas Archive, proposes an unprecedented cut that finds its main narrative nucleus in the city of Milan, taken in its many facets.

More than 250 images, many of which have never been exhibited before, precious vintage shots, documents, books and films, cover the entire production of Ugo Mulas: from theatre to fashion, from portraits of international artists, protagonists of American Pop art, to intellectuals, architects and figures in the world of culture and entertainment – such as Dino Buzzati, Giorgio De Chirico, Marcel Duchamp, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Arthur Miller, Eugenio Montale, Louise Nevelson, Gio Ponti, Salvatore Quasimodo, Giorgio Strehler, Andy Warhol and many others – from the city to nudity and jewelry. Along the path articulated by thematic chapters emerges the profile of a “total” photographer, who has addressed different themes and subjects during his brief and intense experience, with the awareness that photography is not mere documentation, but testimony and critical interpretation of reality.
