From 4^th July to 12^th September the Mart will host a collective exhibition dedicated to American art in the years between 1850 and 1960.

The exhibition, curated by Susan Behrends Frank and Gabriella Belli welcomes artworks belonging to the Phillips Collection, based in Washington DC. Such artworks share the attempt to show us the multi-faceted complexity of America, through the representation of its natural landscapes and its big cities. Slices of everyday life also play a significant role, in their attempt to catch feelings and thoughts of the people who are portrayed. As well as the value of each single artist - Winslow Homer, Ernest Lawson, John Sloan, John Marin ed Edward Hopper among them – Duncan Phillilps's sensitivity and critical sharpness stand out: throughout his life he was able to recognise the talent of many young and still unknown artists.
