Venice Galleria A plus A Hosts Collector Talks at Luxury Hotels
In Venice, Galleria A plus A, in partnership with the School for Curatorial Studies, has initiated 'What is more contemporary than contemporary?' This event invites four global collectors to express their enthusiasm for emerging art. Discussions take place at the Hotel Danieli and the Gritti Palace. The initial sessions featured Antonio Dalle Nogare, whose Bolzano collection includes pieces by Dan Graham and others, alongside Pedro Barbosa, who emphasizes conceptual art and up-and-coming artists from New York and Brazil. The concluding meetings, set for June 22 and July 7, will highlight Alain Servais, a pioneer in digital art collection from Brussels, and Karsten Schmitz, the founder of the Federkiel Foundation in Leipzig.
