Recent donations

The artists involved in the decades-long Conserving the Future project often decide to donate a work to the Fondazione, as a souvenir of their participation and as testimony to the way they dialogued with the spaces, collections and architecture. Recent donations include works by George Adéagbo, Margherita Andreu, Stefano Arienti, Giuseppe Caccavale, Elisabetta Di Maggio, Mona Hatoum, Haris Epaminonda, Ilya & Emilia Kabakov, Joseph Kosuth, Maria Morganti, Giulio Paolini, Remo Salvadori, Mariateresa Sartori, Anita Sieff, Kiki Smith, and Qiu Zhijie.
