This same passion is still central to the gallery\u2019s current management in the hands of the family\u2019s third generation.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to headquarters in Lungarno Cellini in Florence, over the years other locations have opened throughout Italy,\u00a0 in Milan (1995), Forte dei Marmi (2004), Tornabuoni Arte Antica (2006), and Rome (2023), as abroad, in Crans Montana, Switzerland (1993), Paris (2009), and London (2015).<\/span><\/p>\n

Tornabuoni Art’s curatorial program includes an annual exhibition featuring a selection of works by major international artists of the 20th century (Christo, Jean Dubuffet, Hans Hartung, Wifredo Lam, Matta, Joan Mir\u00f3, Pablo Picasso, Serge Poliakoff, Andy Warhol) alongside the main actors of the Italian avant-gardes (Carla Accardi, Giacomo Balla, Alberto Biasi, Alighiero Boetti, Alberto Burri, Enrico Castellani, Mario Ceroli, Giorgio de Chirico, Dadamaino, Piero Dorazio, Lucio Fontana, Emilio Isgr\u00f2, Piero Manzoni, Marino Marini, Giorgio Morandi, Claudio Parmiggiani, Arnaldo Pomodoro, Paolo Scheggi).<\/span><\/p>\n

The gallery takes part in major contemporary art fairs worldwide, including Tefaf in Maastricht and New York, Art Basel in Basel, Miami Beach, Hong Kong and Paris, Frieze Masters in London and Seoul, Arte Fiera in Bologna, and Miart in Milan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tornabuoni Art regularly collaborates with museums and public and private institutions in Italy and abroad, both through loans and through the organization of exhibitions. Among such projects, special mention should be made of the exhibitions held at the Fondazione Giorgio Cini during the Venice Biennale: <\/span>Alighiero Boetti. Minimum-Maximum<\/span><\/i> (2017), <\/span>Burri. Pittura, un’irriducibile presenza<\/span><\/i> (2019) and the group exhibition <\/span>On Fire<\/span><\/i> (2022) with works by Arman, Alberto Burri, Pier Paolo Calzolari, Yves Klein, Jannis Kounellis and Claudio Parmiggiani.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2021 Tornabuoni Art became a member of ITALICS, a consortium of more than 70 galleries, committed to promoting the Italian cultural scene. In this context, the gallery takes part in the annual event <\/span>Panorama by ITALICS<\/span><\/i>, showcasing masterpieces of post-war Italian art, from Lucio Fontana\u2019s <\/span>Fine di Dio<\/span><\/i>, 1963, in Procida (2021) to Alighiero Boetti’s iconic <\/span>Copertine<\/span><\/i>, 1984, in Monopoli (2022) and the Delocazioni by Claudio Parmiggiani in the Monferrato (2024).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The gallery\u2019s exhibitions have always been accompanied by extensive publications, which draw on the knowledge and participation of museum directors and art historians such as Luca Massimo Barbero, Bernard Blist\u00e8ne, Germano Celant, Bruno Cor\u00e0, Enrico Crispolti, Philippe Dagen and Margit Rowell.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to the experience it has gained over more than four decades of activity, Tornabuoni Art has become a trusted consultant for public and private collections internationally.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
