Giorgio Morandi’s ‘Still Life’ (1948–49) and ‘Flowers’ (1942) have arrived in Shanghai for ‘Giorgio Morandi. Solo’ at the Museum of Art Pudong.

Reported on 8 September 2026, the arrival follows what the announcement characterises as a long, indeed very long, journey for the two paintings. It names both works and dates them, giving the Shanghai presentation a precise point of arrival rather than announcing the exhibition in general terms.

The announcement describes ‘Giorgio Morandi. Solo’ as the largest solo exhibition dedicated to the artist. Its account centres on the transport and presentation of ‘Still Life’ and ‘Flowers’, now in Shanghai as part of the Museum of Art Pudong exhibition.
