Nicoletta Fiorucci Foundation & Collection: Recent Acquisitions and Eternal Loves – Part I
Location: Principality of Monaco, Monaco
Dates: 25 January – 21 March 2023
Curator: Giulia Civardi
Devised in conversation with the Collection’s Curator, Giulia Civardi, this intimate presentation unveils over 90 works by 59 international artists that radically shaped the Nicoletta Fiorucci Collection and the vision of its founder, as well as broader perceptions within the arts.
With a focus on emerging practices and works acquired over the past three years, the exhibition brings experimental artistic approaches in conversation with longstanding historical influences. Traditionally-recognised media such as painting, sculpture, and drawing appear alongside photography, textile, marquetry, collage, video, ceramic, mobile and digital technologies such as a responsive sound sculpture and a ‘sentient artwork’ that changes and adapts to its surroundings.
‘Art is my home’, affirms Nicoletta. In the last decade, the Fiorucci Art Trust regularly hosted several events, workshops, and performances in domestic environments. Continuing to embrace this approach through her Collection, Nicoletta was inspired to open the doors of a temporarily empty home – located inside the historic building of ‘La Rose De France’ in Monte-Carlo – leaving its interiors to their original, abandoned state.
By occupying an informal setting, the exhibition provides the visitor with an intimate space to engage with artistic expressions from multiple vantage points, to explore various paths in time, and to encounter radical gestures and unexpected figures.
