February 13 2012 - Administrative and technical checks at the contemporary art gallery "Collezione Maramotti"
Collezione Maramotti is a private contemporary art collection which opened to visitors in 2007: it is located in the historical headquarters of Max Mara company, in Reggio Emilia, according to the wishes of Achille Maramotti.
It comprises a relevant selection of more than two hundred works representing only a portion of the collection put passionately together in forty years. The collection includes mostly paintings, but also sculptures and installations, made from 1945 till the present day, and presents pieces from the most significant artistic trends both in Italy and abroad from the second half of the 20th century. More than one hundred twenty artists are represented with important works which at the time of their creation and acquisition had introduced elements of substantial innovation and experimentation in artistic research.
For the most part, 21st-century works are not included in the permanent collection: specific exhibitions are dedicated to them in the rooms set for temporary shows, spaces where projects commissioned to international artistis are also regularly exhibited. The artworks realized for these exhibitions are acquired by the Collection, with the aim of merging acquisition policies with public showing.
The Collection exhibits and acquires also the projects of artists who are awarded the two-yearly Max Mara Art Prize for Women in collaboration with Whitechapel Gallery, for emerging women artists working in the United Kingdom. The winners of the three past editions of the Prize are: Margaret Salmon, Hannah Rickards, Andrea Büttner and, the latest one is Laure Prouvost, recently nominated.
The Prize testifies Max Mara's close relationships with the art world.
