What to see at the Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art

The core of the museum’s collection consists of works by Italian futurist Mario Sironi that were purchased by the American writer Eric Estorick while on his honeymoon in 1947. The museum also features artworks by Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carrà, Merardo Rosso, Luigi Russolo, Gino Severini and Ardengo Soffici.

Temporary exhibitions at the Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art

In addition to its permanent collection, the Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art also hosts a programme of temporary exhibitions. Current and planned exhibitions include:

Pasquarosa: From Muse to Painter
The Pasquarosa exhibition (until 28 April 2024) showcases the work by Pasquarosa Marcelli (1896–1973). This Italian artist, known simply as Pasquarosa, was a prominent figure during the interwar years but is lesser known today. The exhibition features around 50 paintings and drawings, offering a look at her vibrant style and subject matter, often featuring flowers and bold colours. Pasquarosa had a solo exhibition in London during the 1920s, and this show marks a return of her work to the capital.
