Enea Righi Collection at Palazzo Fortuny Explores Emotional Collecting

Palazzo Fortuny in Venice, former home of Mariano Fortuny, hosts a selection from Enea Righi's collection in the exhibition 'Quand fondra la neige, où ira le blanc', curated by Eric Mézil and Lorenzo Paini. The show runs until October 10, 2016, and features works by over a dozen international artists arranged thematically rather than chronologically. Righi's approach prioritizes instinct and emotional resonance over market trends, with the exhibition examining the enduring significance of collecting beyond speculation and fashion. Artists include Thomas Hirschhorn, Walid Raad, Akram Zaatari, Gino de Dominicis, Ana Mendieta, Pablo Bronstein, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Dorothy Iannone, Superstudio, André Komatsu, Enzo Mari, Joseph Kosuth, Roni Horn, Carlos Garaicoa, and Peter Friedl. The conceptual threads span identity, mortality, and eternity, with the title borrowed from a work by Rémy Zaugg, metaphorically questioning what remains after the snow melts.
