Minister of Culture Raluca Turcan invites the public to visit the Art Safari Love Edition exhibition opened at the Dacia-Romania Palace on Lipscani Street in downtown Bucharest, write Agerpres.

„I appreciate the cooperation the organizers decided to tap into with London’s National Portrait Gallery, one of the most important international museums and home to the world’s most extensive collection of portraits that are now brought to Bucharest with its ‘Love Stories’ that present portraits of famous couples, including John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Salvador Dali and Gala, or Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The Culture Ministry has become a staple in supporting this art marathon, with important allocations in 2023 too, so that this event – which has meanwhile become the largest exhibition conglomerate in Romania – to develop its partnerships and to be able to include in its 10-day span a wide palette of creations which this season are dedicated to the artistic expressions of love. I invite you to cherish art and surrender for a few moments to the exciting stories told by Art Safari Love Edition,” Raluca Turcan said at the opening of the exhibition, as cited on the Facebook page of the Ministry of Culture.

Now in its twelfth year, Art Safari maintains a subtle balance between the tribute to the values of the Romanian artistic heritage, through retrospectives dedicated to Constantin Artachino – an emblematic figure of Romanian Orientalism, and Ion Alin Gheorghiu – a master of postmodernism, and the modern and contemporary creations of some foreign authors, the cited source informs.

The Art Safari Love Edition summer season which opens to the public on Friday at the Dacia-Romania Palace and will end on September 10, features in a first exhibits from the famous National Portrait Gallery in London, as well as classic and contemporary Romanian art signed by Constantin Artachino and Ion Alin Gheorghiu.
