Palazzo Dama presents, on the occasion of Roma Art Week, an exhibition journey bringing together graphic and pictorial works by leading figures in modern and contemporary art — Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Mario Schifano, Giorgio de Chirico, Salvador Dalí and Andy Warhol — alongside historical works, iconic photographs of Marilyn Monroe, and a selection of Old Master paintings and reproductions of celebrated masterpieces.
The project creates a dialogue between art of the past, the avant-garde movements of the twentieth century and contemporary artistic expression, set within the historic and sophisticated atmosphere of Palazzo Dama.
Among the most significant works are several etchings by Pablo Picasso dating from 1968, works by Joan Miró from the 1970s, a silkscreen print by Mario Schifano, a lithograph by Giorgio de Chirico, and a hand-coloured etching by Salvador Dalí. These are complemented by important references to pop culture through Andy Warhol’s The Souper Dress and Mao 1974, as well as photographs of Marilyn Monroe by André de Dienes and George Barris.
The exhibition journey also includes works and reproductions inspired by the great European painting tradition — from Raphael to Titian, Brueghel, Greuze and de Favray — creating an ideal continuity between art history and contemporary visual languages.
The Contemporary Element: ES × Palazzo Dama
As part of the exhibition, a unique contemporary art intervention created specifically for Palazzo Dama will be presented. Conceived by artist Elodie Serra (ES), the work is designed to move beyond the traditional boundaries of the canvas and become an immersive experience.
The artwork will be translated into a small collection of wearable and interior art, including:
- Artistic clutches
- Towels
- Sarongs
- Cushions
- Personalised accessories
- Other pieces from the ES × Palazzo Dama collection
Visitors will be able to discover how a work of art can be transformed into an object, a textile, an accessory or an element of interior design, while retaining its distinctive artistic identity.
An Event That Goes Beyond the Exhibition
The opening of the exhibition will coincide with a special experience for guests and the Roma Art Week audience, structured around three key moments:
ART — A guided tour of the exhibition and a meeting with the artist.
TASTE — The opening and discovery of the new Donkey’s Bar, featuring a special offering created for the occasion.
WELLNESS — A visit to Palazzo Daham Spa, where elements from the ES × Palazzo Dama collection will engage in a dialogue with the wellness spaces, demonstrating how art, design, fashion and hospitality can intersect.
The project aims to transform Palazzo Dama into an art hotel experience, where artworks are not simply observed, but can be experienced, worn and lived in.
