Days of exhibition


The Palazzo Ducale in Genoa presents the exhibition “Renoir, Monet, Toulouse-Lautrec, Cézanne - 200 Years of Art from the Scharf Collection,” which will bring to Italy for the first time more than 140 masterpieces from a collection that has long remained private.

Thanks to a collaboration with the Scharf Collection and MondoMostre, the Palazzo Ducale Foundation in Genoa will be able to offer its visitors a journey through two centuries of art history, through a selection of works curated by the director of the Genoese institution, Ilaria Bonacossa: in addition to the masters mentioned in the exhibition’s title, works ranging from Goya to Tony Cragg and Katharina Grosse, including pieces by Corot, Bonnard, Matisse, and Léger, will be presented, bearing witness to the significant and complex developments in the history of collecting over the past century.

One of Germany’s most significant private collections, the Scharf Collection spans from Goya to Realism, Impressionism, Cubism, and contemporary art. Its history is a family legacy that spans generations: it originated from Otto Gerstenberg’s famous Berlin collection and has evolved through several generations of the family, expanding to include modern and contemporary art.
