The exhibition is organized by Barbara Haskell, curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art, together with Caroline Webb, assistant curator at the institution. Its material follows Hopper’s creative trajectory through paintings, watercolors, drawings, prints and archival materials, while highlighting the fundamental role of places in the construction of his imagery.
New York was Hopper’s home for nearly 60 years and the place that most strongly fed his artistic research, becoming the subject of many of his best-known works. His vision was also formed through journeys, stays and landscapes encountered throughout his life, from the discovery of Paris to the coasts of New England and extended travels across the United States.
The presentation includes Edward Hopper’s ‘Cape Cod Sunset / Tramonto a Cape Cod’, from 1934, and ‘Statue at Park Entrance / Statua all’ingresso del Parco’, dated 1918–20.
The exhibition is promoted by Fondazione Palazzo Blu and organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York with MondoMostre, with support from Fondazione Pisa.
