#108 Florentine Baroque: The Haukohl Collection, A Conversation with Curator Rachel Zebro

Saturday, October 25th Live on Zoom

7pm Florence, 10am Los Angeles, 1pm New York

Florentine Baroque: The Haukohl Collection presents more than 30 examples of painting and sculpture drawn from the most important Florentine Baroque art collection outside of Italy, assembled over more than 40 years by Houston-based art collector and co-founder of the Medici Archive Project, Sir Mark Fehrs Haukohl. This spectacular exhibition features artworks by local Florentine artists and artists living across Europe reflect Florence’s flourishing art industry, as well as the cultural and intellectual legacy of the Medici Grand Dukes on the Renaissance and Baroque movements.  The exhibition illustrates the sumptuous visual pageantry and the blending of new stylistic elements with established models that are central to Florentine Baroque art, while also shedding light on the intellectual history of Florence under the reign of the Medici.

Our presenter is Rachel Sadvary Zebro, Associate Curator of Collections at the Phoenix Art Museum.  Zebro has curated numerous exhibitions highlighting the depth of the museum’s modern, contemporary, and European art collections. These include Larry Bell: Improvisation (2024), Breaking Up (2022), Sweet Land of Funk (2020), and In the Company of Women (2018). Rachel was a contributor to the Agnes Pelton: Desert Transcendentalist exhibition catalogue (2019), Kristin Bauer: This Is Like That (2023), and Enchanted Reverie: Klee and Calder (2024).
