To commemorate its 40th anniversary, the Castello di Rivoli Museo d'Arte Contemporanea has unveiled a two-volume catalogue of its collection, curated by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev and Marcella Beccaria, and published by Allemandi. The catalogue showcases over 200 artists, featuring accessible entries and high-quality visuals. Contributions include insights from Christov-Bakargiev, Beccaria, and Luisa Mensi on the preservation of Arte Povera.
