Simon Starling: A-A’, B-B’

Galleria Franco Noero features a new body of work by the artist Simon Starling (Epsom, 1967, lives and works in Copenhagen).

The exhibition’s title, A-A’, B-B’, refers to two cuts made approximately two hundred years apart, through two very different objects – Giambattista Tiepolo’s painting “The Finding of Moses” and a blue Fiat 125 Special, which was a favourite car of Giovanni Agnelli, the former head of the Turin-based manufacturer and an influential Italian industrialist. Starling’s ability to identify connections in seemingly disparate narratives ties the story of the cutting of The Finding of Moses to the Fiat supremo.
