Emphasizing how Leonardo’s famous painting continues to influence contemporary art, the exhibition showcases Wang Guangyi’s The Last Supp er, which has never made it to the West, works expressly created by Robert Longo, Nicola Samorì and Yue Minjun, a video by Masbedo focusing on the hands that restored the work and a tribute by Anish Kapoor to Leonardo’s work.
