IL COLLEZIONISTA

Innamorarsi del Contemporaneo 1941-2017

Dal 24/06/2017 al 15/10/2017

The exhibition aims at recalling the first Italian Exhibition of Contemporary Art Collections,  which was held in Cortina in August 1941, with the support of the Ministry of Education.
Mario Rimoldi, who had always been encouraging young  painters,  was entrusted with its organization. The exhibition aimed at promoting contemporary art collections and encouraging the creation of new collections.
The exhibition unfolds on three floors:

Ground floor: Falling in Love
Reconstruction of Mario Rimoldi's historic and cultural environment. In addition to  artworks from his private collection there are displayed images, documents, and anything apt to best introduce the visitor to the times and spirit of the art collector.

First floor: Contemporary Art, Today
Along the same line of the 1941 Italian Exhibition of Contemporary Art Collections and in the same spirit of Mario Rimoldi, who had close contacts with the artists of his time, there are works by contemporary artists from private art collectors and art galleries all over Italy.

Second floor: Contemporary Art, Yesterday
This section displays the works from the Collection that best highlight Rimoldi as a keen forerunner in his choice of artists. Possible relationships with present works of art are significant.
