Original set pieces from the films that earned him three Academy Awards; and a six-month retrospective of 22 films featuring the production designer's career-defining work. Dante Ferretti: Design and Construction for the Cinema, on view from September 28, 2013, through February 9, 2014, features large-scale, original set pieces recovered from sets designed by Ferretti, including the chandeliers from Pier Paolo Pasolini's Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom (1975) and the massive, illuminated clock from Martin Scorsese's Hugo (2011), as well as sculptural objects created for the Venice Film Festival.
