Museo Novecento to Present Victor Man Exhibition Curated by Sergio Risaliti
The Facts
On August 25, 2026, Museo Novecento announced an exhibition dedicated to Victor Man, curated by Sergio Risaliti. The show will feature approximately 25 paintings exploring recurring themes in the artist's practice, including maternity, portraiture, self-portraiture, still life, and the female figure. Works by Man are also included in the inaugural exhibition 'Don't have hope, be hope!' at Isola di San Giacomo, the new Venice location of Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, alongside pieces by Matthew Barney, Glenn Brown, Danielle Mckinney, and Albert Oehlen. Additionally, Man's work is presented in the exhibition 'Clair-obscur' at Bourse de Commerce, Pinault Collection, Paris, on view until August 24, 2026.
The Signal
The simultaneous institutional presentations signal a significant moment for Victor Man's market standing, as his work gains exposure across major European venues—from a solo museum show in Florence to group exhibitions in Venice and Paris. For collectors, this breadth of institutional validation, particularly the curated focus on his thematic range at Museo Novecento, may reinforce demand for his paintings, which have seen growing auction presence in recent years. The Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo's new island venue also positions Man within a high-profile inaugural context alongside established names, further elevating his visibility in the contemporary art landscape.
