Andrea Succo: A Collector's Eye on Space, Light, and Emerging Latin American Art
Born in 1971 in Turin, Andrea Succo has been an avid collector of contemporary international art since 1996, showcasing works by artists such as Jeppe Hein and Olafur Eliasson. In addition to his finance career, he is a member of miart's honorary committee. Recently, he has expanded his collection to include Italian and Brazilian design from the 1940s to today. Succo is particularly interested in up-and-coming Latin American artists, including Clara Ianni, Tania Pérez Córdova, and Mathieu Malouf. He has noticed a shift among artists from serial abstract painting to innovative uses of materials like glass and ceramics. He also comments on the increasingly chaotic art scene, suggesting that a recent slowdown has led to a more selective environment. This article is authored by Antonella Crippa, an art advisor based in Milan since April 2021.
