Gucci funds new acquisitions for Triennale Milano's permanent collection
Triennale Milano, with the backing of Gucci, has enhanced its contemporary art collection by adding pieces from Giorgio de Chirico, Franco Mazzucchelli, Marcello Maloberti, and Luisa Lambri. A significant addition is a 1973 sketch of a pittosculpture by de Chirico for 'I Bagni Misteriosi,' which will be showcased starting May 13, 2025. On that same day, Maloberti's neon piece 'MILANO PORTAMI DOVE SONO' will grace the facade of Palazzo dell'Arte, as part of a triptych that includes 'TRIENNALE VOCE' and 'LUNA.' Mazzucchelli's work, first shown in 1973, received recognition in 2023. In 2026, Lambri plans to create a series that examines the relationship between humans and space through architecture and photography, inspired by Giovanni Muzio's design of the Palazzo dell'Arte.
