Artissima has presented a new project, a competition aimed at launching on the International market young Italian artists aged under 35. The project emerges from fifteen years of experience in the field of contemporary art, experience of international rank that has made Artissima become a reference appointment for Italian and foreign galleries that deal in contemporary art.
The last edition, the first directed by Andrea Bellini, had set itself the ambitious objective of being really International and proposing new young talents. The appointment was met with great success by the critics and the public: 43,000 people present, fully booked for conferences and debates, and important purchases realized even for the foreign market.

Turin is hosting the exhibition dedicated to the fascinating Japanese artist who, with his sophisticated style, has been able to communicate and provoke, becoming the symbol of a Japan that is changing, although it remains attached to its traditions.
The Araki Gold exhibition started in November, with its first stage in Rome that ended last February. The exhibition is now continuing in Turin where, after being hosted by the State Archive, more than 500 images will migrate during June and July to a provincial venue, to Villa Remmert (Ciriè).
