Peter Frey Gallery Opens Third Location in Verona
The Peter Frey Gallery inaugurated its third location on May 31, 2024, at Via Rosa 6 in Verona, close to Piazza delle Erbe. Austrian gallerist Peter Frey, known for representing artists such as Hermann Nitsch, previously established galleries in Vienna (2004) and Salzburg (2012). The Verona space, managed by local Camilla Santi, featured a group exhibition that continued until June 17, with Yves Hayat's solo show set to open on June 28. Santi highlighted the presence of Italian artists and Verona's tourism as vital to the gallery's choice of location. Despite a downturn in the local gallery scene, the venue aims to draw crowds for significant Italian fairs, focusing on ArtVerona, where it had a successful debut in 2023. Hayat's upcoming exhibition will delve into the contemporary culture's sacralization of the profane.
