Description
Jenny Saville a Ca’ Pesaro accompanies the first major exhibition in Venice dedicated to one of the foremost painters of our time. This exhibition, opening in March 2026 to coincide with the Biennale di Venezia, brings together more than thirty works spanning the full arc of Saville’s extraordinary career, marking one of the most extensive presentations of her art ever held in Italy.
Saville’s practice is deeply rooted in the history of painting: while strikingly contemporary, hers is a practice in constant dialogue with the Old Masters and, in particular, with the Venetian tradition. At Ca’ Pesaro, her monumental canvases will converse with the great painters of the city’s past, creating a unique encounter between contemporary expression and Venice’s timeless artistic heritage. In this way, the exhibition is not only a celebration of Saville’s achievements but also a tribute to Venice itself, a city that the artist has been drawing inspiration from since her student years.
To celebrate this landmark exhibition, the catalogue Jenny Saville a Ca’ Pesaro will feature a newly commissioned essay by the exhibition’s curator, Elisabetta Barisoni, and an interview between Saville and Professor Stefania Ventra, as well as forewords by key city officials. Produced by the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia, the book will include full illustrations of all of the works included in the show, as well as art historical reference images and installation shots of the exhibition in situ at this iconic Venetian institution.
