Similar to Morandi, also Rachel Whiteread&#8217;s will is to transcend, through an obsessive practice of observation, the subject of the representation, turning it into the art practice itself. Thus, the real subject is not that group of vases, or the interior of a certain room, but the artist himself and the mission which he is devoting his life to.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-GB\">Then, for those who would like to go deeper into Morandi, another exhibition is going to shed some light on this solitary artist \u2013 who, from a certain point of view, seems so similar to Francis Bacon.
