Description: Advanced art asks questionsabout our condition, our culture and the future of the world we live in. To inaugurate the newly renovated Palazzo Grassi, its new president François Pinault is pleased to present Where Are We Going? an exhibition highlighting a focused selection of his collections post-war holdings. Marking the first public unveiling of the François Pinault collection, Where Are We Going? reposes a question that is at the heart of François Pinaults collecting philosophy as well as at the crux of the creative process. Published on the occasion of this inaugural exhibition, the exhibition catalogue demonstrates Francois Pinaults singular engagement with some of the most influential and challenging artists of our times. Featuring approximately 200 works in full-color plates by 53 artists, the catalogue spans such post-war masters as Mark Rothko, Cy Twombly, Piero Manzoni, Lucio Fontana, Pierre Soulages, Donald Judd, and Mario Merz to mid-career stars such as Jeff Koons, Damien Hirst, Takashi Murakami, Pierre Huyghe, and Maurizio Cattelan, through a younger generation of artists such as Urs Fischer, Rudolf Stingel and Piotr Uklanski. Numerous distinguished scholars and critics contribute focused essays on a selection of outstanding individual works in the collection.
