Villa e Collezione Panza hosts the exhibition Another Look. Works from the Gemma Testa Collection from April 11th to October 12th.
The exhibition inaugurates a series dedicated to the theme of collecting, understood as an expression of thought, an identity, a tool for investigation, a key to understanding the present, and a cultural practice with educational value. With this objective, the FAI will periodically bring to the Villa's exhibition spaces important private art collections capable of establishing a direct and stimulating comparison with the sensibility of Giuseppe Panza di Biumo: other collections capable of revealing ''other perspectives'' on contemporary art and collecting.
The exhibition, curated by Gabriella Belli, Gemma De Angelis Testa, and Marta Spanevello, brings together thirty-nine works, including a significant core from the collector's private collection and never before exhibited. These are complemented by works on loan from the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia-which received a donation of 107 works from the collector in 2022-and from the Museo del Novecento in Milan, whose collection continues to grow thanks to the contribution of the ACACIA Association.
The exhibition is divided into eleven sections that interpret the collector's lines of research and interests.
