The curator of the Treviso exhibition Pavanello against the critic. The reply: “It’s spite, I expelled him from the event in the city”
TREVISO. Put Canova, the nudes, two “competing” exhibitions; add Vittorio Sgarbi, president of the Canova Foundation and guide of the exhibitions in Possagno on the one hand, and Giuseppe Pavanello, a great scholar of Canova and curator of the Treviso expo on the other. The controversy soon served. It was triggered by Pavanello’s direct criticism of Sgarbi made yesterday morning: “You don’t want to put a woman with her legs open at the entrance of the plaster cast gallery in Possagno.”
