Gallery of Modern Art, Torino, Italy
After multiple restorations, the Gallery of Modern Art in Torino, Italy completed its latest renovation in 1993. Since that time, the collection has seen a substantial increase due - in large part - to the purchase of nearly 1,000 works from the Guido and Ettore De Fornaris' Foundation. The gallery's library showcases 5,000 paintings, 400 sculptures and installations, drawings and engravings beginning from the 18th century.
Artists featured in Gallery of Modern Art, Torino, Italy:
Luisa Rabbia
Born in Italy, Brooklyn-based artist Luisa Rabbia frequently draws inspiration from her daily life to create reflections on time, life, and the human body. Rabbia's meditative works provoke the viewer to contemplate presence and absence through video, porcelain and paper-mache sculpture, ink, acrylic pigment, and pencil drawings.
Luisa Rabbia received a master's degree from Accademia Albertina di Belle Arti, Torino, Italy, in 1992. She has completed artist-in-residency programs at the International Studio & Curatorial Program (New York), Artomi, NY, and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum (Boston, Massachusetts). Rabbia has been featured in exhibitions at Massimo Audiello Gallery (New York), Galleria Giorgio Persano (Torino), Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum (Boston, MA), Fondazione Merz (Torino), Fondazione Querini Stampalia (Venice) and Fundación PROA (Buenos Aires). Her works are part of permanent installations in Italy (S. Gimignano, Naples) and Cologny, Geneva, Switzerland as well as part of the permanent collection of the Gallery of Modern Art (Torino).
