Past event

The MAST façade with the Becher banner, grids of black-and-white winding towers and cooling towers, the opening crowd in the gallery and the foyer bearing the exhibition title.

The event

A room of the Bernd & Hilla Becher exhibition in the MAST.Galleries

The figure of the maestro is central to the work of Bernd and Hilla Becher, as the artists of the Düsseldorf School show. With Sguardi maestri, Fondazione MAST offers tours of the exhibition led by professionals from fields deeply influenced by the Bechers’ teaching, who read it from fresh perspectives.

Visitors build a direct relationship both with the “maestro” accompanying them through the exhibition and with the works, revealed in their most specific and unexpected aspects. The tour ends with a drink at MAST.Caffetteria.

On Wednesday 16 September the tour was led by Massimo Bartolini.

Massimo Bartolini

Born in Cecina, where he lives and works, he has exhibited in Italy and abroad since 1993 and teaches at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Bologna. He has taken part in the Venice Biennale and documenta 13, among others; his solo shows include Due qui / To Hear at the Italian Pavilion of the 2024 Venice Biennale and In Là at Centro Pecci in Prato (2022).
