A new opening at Palazzo Strozzi is always a big affair, particularly this one as the show marks a return to the hallowed halls upstairs as opposed to showings solely in the courtyard and exterior. Equally notable is the subject matter, strengthening the bond between Americans and Florence at a time when both desire to be united. Over 80 artworks by 53 artists detail American society over four decades, delving into the political, social and cultural moments that marked those years, such as the Vietnam War and the 9/11 attack. The outstanding works come from The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis and feature celebrated artists such as Andy Warhol, Mark Rothko, Louise Nevelson, Roy Lichtenstein and Cindy Sherman. From Pop Art to Minimalism, various techniques and media foreground art as a powerful tool for addressing topics such as consumerism, feminism, gender identity, racial issues and the struggle for civil rights.
