Amoako Boafo

Opens Wednesday, May 6

Drawing inspiration from the Renaissance atmosphere of Museo di Palazzo Grimani, Amoako Boafo’s first solo exhibition in Italy features a series of new works that directly reference the unique architecture and historical context of the site, which is part of the Musei archeologici nazionali di Venezia e della Laguna. These compelling new pieces, which continue Boafo’s exploration of identity and style, are installed on the second floor of the palazzo, establishing a dialogue between contemporary Black representation and the enduring legacy of Venetian artistic masterworks. The exhibition is presented in collaboration with Gagosian.
