Where the Lagoon Holds Its Breath and the Art World Holds Its Nerve

By Awais ShaukatJUN 21, 202611 MIN READ
The monumental sculpture shown is "Support" (2017) by contemporary Italian artist Lorenzo Quinn. This detailed photograph captures a large-scale public art installation in Venice, featuring two massive, white, child-like hands emerging from the deep green waters of the Grand Canal. The hands are positioned as if they are literally supporting and bracing the historic, salmon-colored facade of the Ca' Sagredo Hotel. One hand grips the corner of the ornate building while the other reaches up against its side, set against a backdrop of sunlit Venetian architecture and traditional wooden mooring poles lining the canal.
