Florentine museum

Discover more works by female artists from the Levett Collection in this house museum, located in a 19th-century palazzo originally built for the Italian actress Adelaide Ristori. Visits are available by appointment only.

The visit offers access to a curated selection of around 90 works, all by women artists. The core of the collection focuses on American Abstract Expressionism from the 1950s to the 1970s, featuring major figures such as Lee Krasner, Elaine de Kooning, Joan Mitchell, Grace Hartigan, Helen Frankenthaler, Pat Passlof, Ethel Schwabacher, and Yvonne Thomas.

This historical foundation is complemented by contemporary works that resonate with the overall ensemble, including pieces by Louise Bourgeois, Cecily Brown, and Tracey Emin.

The aim is to present museum-quality works in an intimate, domestic setting where they can be seen in a new light.

In this refined and personal context, each artwork regains the visibility it was often denied in the canonical narratives of modern art.

This unique museum setting offers a singular, in-depth experience for collectors, curators, scholars, and connoisseurs interested in rediscovering art history under the female perspective.
