The Pinault Collection\u2019s Venetian venues welcome Michael Armitage\u2019s paintings and Amar Kanwar\u2019s multimedia installations on the premises of Palazzo Grassi, while Lorna Simpson\u2019s pictorial language and Paulo Nazareth\u2019s reflections on the present occupy the spaces of Punta della Dogana.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nStaying in the Dorsoduro district, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection retraces the London experience of the patron it is named for, and describes the important role of the Guggenheim Jeune \u2012 the gallery active in the city from 1938 to 1939 \u2012 in the development of contemporary art history.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nNearby, the Palazzo Cini Gallery offers an overview of David Salle\u2019s painting practice in his first solo exhibition in Venice, and the Gallerie dell\u2019Accademia showcases Marina Abramovi\u0107\u2019s exhibition, which focuses on the transformative power of energy. On the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, the Giorgio Cini Foundation hosts the latest works by the recently deceased Georg Baselitz. The nearby Basilica serves as the backdrop for the works of Barry X Ball, an artist capable of interpreting the past through the lens of new technologies. Le Stanze del Vetro, meanwhile, inaugurated the third chapter of the exhibition series dedicated to the presence of Murano glass at the Venice Biennale, this time focusing on the decade between 1948 and 1958.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nOn the Giudecca island, the Casa dei Tre Oci, the Venetian headquarters of the Berggruen Institute Europe, hosts Joseph Kosuth\u2019s exhibition, including landmark works and a new large-scale intervention. Palazzo Diedo, home of Berggruen Arts &amp; Culture in the heart of the Cannaregio district, explores the peculiarities of Protocol Art \u2012 based on algorithms, artificial intelligence models, technological infrastructures, and computer protocols \u2012 and pays homage to the career of Ceal Floyer, the British artist who passed away in December 2025 and whose oeuvre fused video, readymades, photography, sculpture, and sound installations.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe newly established Fondazione Dries Van Noten has opened the doors of Palazzo Pisani Moretta with the exhibition <em>The Only True Protest is Beauty<\/em>, laying the foundations for a project anchored in craftsmanship.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nContemporaneity is the underlying theme of <em>Canicula<\/em>, the third and final instalment of the trilogy promoted by the In Between Art Film Foundation at the Complesso dell\u2019Ospedaletto: eight site-specific video installations were commissioned for this occasion.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nContemporaneity is also a theme at the Palazzo Grimani Museum, where Amoako Boafo creates a pictorial dialogue with the historic building\u2019s architecture and with the Venetian artistic tradition.<br \/>\r\n<h2>THE EXHIBITIONS IN MILAN<\/h2><br \/>\r\nThe exhibition Palazzo Reale is dedicating to the German artist Anselm Kiefer draws on the central role of the female figure in his artistic philosophy; the impressive series of canvases displayed in the Sala delle Cariatidi brings to light the stories of the women alchemists that were condemned to oblivion.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nYou have until 19 and 26 July 2026, respectively, to visit the exhibitions HangarBicocca is dedicating to Benni Bosetto and Rirkrit Tiravanija. Titled <em>Rebecca<\/em> and housed in the Shed, Benni Bosetto\u2019s solo show is constructed around the idea of \u200b\u200bhome, analyzed in its intimate and political dimensions, while the home evoked by <em>The House That Jack Built<\/em> in the Navate spaces takes shape within Rirkrit Tiravanija\u2019s thirty-year experimentation in spatial and architectural fields.<br \/>\r\n<h2>THE EXHIBITIONS IN FLORENCE<\/h2><br \/>\r\nMark Rothko\u2019s artistic career is the beating heart of the exhibition hosted at Palazzo Strozzi, and also hosted by the Museo di San Marco and the Vestibolo della Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana. What stands out is Rothko\u2019s connection to Florence, which exerted a strong influence on his visual language.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIn the courtyard of Palazzo Strozzi, the new site-specific installation by the Danish collective SUPERFLEX draws attention to one of the tragic consequences of climate change \u2012 the inexorable rise in sea levels \u2012 inviting us to ask questions about the new forms of existence that the future will bring.<br \/>\r\n<h2>THE EXHIBITIONS IN ROME<\/h2><br \/>\r\nAfter Le Stanze della Fotografia in Venice and the Palazzo Reale in Milan, the Ara Pacis Museum in Rome hosts the exhibition that concludes the trilogy focusing on key aspects of Robert Mapplethorpe\u2019s artistic philosophy. While the previous exhibitions examined classicism and desire, this time beauty is the lens through which to observe the American photographer\u2019s work, documented by approximately two hundred photographs.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe exhibition at MAXXI is entitled <em>Tragicomica<\/em>. <em>Prospettive sull\u2019arte italiana dal secondo Novecento a oggi<\/em>. Irony and self-irony, understood as distinctive elements of the Italian tradition, become the filter through which to interpret Italian creative production from the postwar period to the present, bringing together the works of over one hundred artists.","protected":false},"featured_media":18636,"template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categorie_magazine":[343],"class_list":["post-18649","magazine","type-magazine","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categorie_magazine-words-from-marte"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The must-see summer 2026 exhibitions - Marsilio Arte<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"From Venice to Rome, passing through Milan and Florence, there are numerous exhibitions to visit during the summer holidays\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.marsilioarte.it\/en\/magazine\/exhibitions-summer-2026\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The must-see summer 2026 exhibitions\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"From Venice to Rome, passing through Milan and Florence, there are numerous exhibitions to visit during the summer holidays\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.marsilioarte.it\/en\/magazine\/exhibitions-summer-2026\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Marsilio Arte\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MarsilioArte\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.marsilioarte.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Lawrence-Abu-Hamdan_MRC5347.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1280\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"853\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@MarsilioArte\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"5 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.marsilioarte.it\\\/en\\\/magazine\\\/exhibitions-summer-2026\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.marsilioarte.it\\\/en\\\/magazine\\\/exhibitions-summer-2026\\\/\",\"name\":\"The must-see summer 2026 exhibitions - Marsilio Arte\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.marsilioarte.it\\\/en\\\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.marsilioarte.it\\\/en\\\/magazine\\\/exhibitions-summer-2026\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.marsilioarte.it\\\/en\\\/magazine\\\/exhibitions-summer-2026\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.marsilioarte.it\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/07\\\/Lawrence-Abu-Hamdan_MRC5347.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2026-07-08T10:07:48+00:00\",\"description\":\"From Venice to Rome, passing through Milan and Florence, there are numerous exhibitions to visit during the summer holidays\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.marsilioarte.it\\\/en\\\/magazine\\\/exhibitions-summer-2026\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/www.marsilioarte.it\\\/en\\\/magazine\\\/exhibitions-summer-2026\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.marsilioarte.it\\\/en\\\/magazine\\\/exhibitions-summer-2026\\\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.marsilioarte.it\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/07\\\/Lawrence-Abu-Hamdan_MRC5347.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.marsilioarte.it\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/07\\\/Lawrence-Abu-Hamdan_MRC5347.jpg\",\"width\":1280,\"height\":853,\"caption\":\"Lawrence Abu Hamdan, 450XL: The Story of a Fugitive Sound, 2026 in \u201cCanicula\u201d, Fondazione In Between Art Film presso Complesso dell\u2019Ospedaletto, Venezia, 2026.
