Joseph Beuys exhibition in Siena

Overview

The Santa Maria della Scala museum in Siena has inaugurated the exhibition ‘Remember Joseph Beuys’, running from September 13 to November 15, 2026. The exhibition features a collection of works and documents, including ten large-scale photographic prints and thirty-two framed photographs, donated by Lucrezia De Domizio Durini.

The exhibition follows a long-standing dispute regarding a 2019 proposal by Durini to donate 478 contemporary art pieces to the Municipality of Siena. That original donation was revoked due to logistical issues and space shortages, though a formal agreement to settle damages was approved by the city council in January 2025.

The current display focuses on the relational and social dimensions of the German artist’s work, specifically exploring themes of individual responsibility, the relationship between humanity and nature, and the concept of ‘care’ as a collective responsibility.
