Go to the exhibit in Milan of Boccioni's sculptures

Please go, because I don't think I am going to make it. No plans to be in Milan anytime soon, I regret to say!

Umberto Boccioni was a key member of the early 20th Century Italian art (and social and political) movement known as Futurismo. Some of his most famous paintings are on display in Milan at the Pinacoteca di Brera, including my favorite "Rissa in Galleria."

There are also some key works at the MOMA in New York.

This exhibit, which runs through Jan. 7 at Milan's Palazzo Reale, focuses on his works of sculpture. One of his most famous sculptures is basically a figure moving quickly, with his brisk pace represented in the flapping of his clothes. The figure, called Unique Forms of Continuity in Space, underscores Futurismo's fascination with speed and movement. This work will be at the center of the exhibit.
