Tornabuoni Art
Tornabuoni Art is an art gallery specializing in Italian art from the second half of the 20th century. The gallery has spaces in Paris, Florence and Milan, as well as in four smaller cities in Italy and Switzerland. Another space is set to open in 2015 in Albemarle Street in London.[1]
The gallery was founded by Roberto Casamonti in 1981 and is now run by his son Michele Casamonti.[2] The Casamonti family owns the world's largest collection of works by Lucio Fontana.[3]
Tornabuoni Art regularly participates to fairs such as La Biennale des Antiquaires, Art Basel in Hong Kong, Art HK and FIAC,[4] and is also a frequent lender to major institutions such as the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid or the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris.[5]
In 2014, Tornabuoni Art in Paris held a major exhibition of Lucio Fontana which included a recently authenticated artwork from the artist, in parallel to a retrospective dedicated to Fontana at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris.[6]
