Fondazione Emilio e Annabianca Vedova

About

The main aim of Fondazione Emilio e Annabianca Vedova is to promote art and work of Vedova and highlight his importance in the history of 20th century art. The Foundation follows the will of the great Venetian artist, who stressed how the safekeeping and conservation of his works should not be separated from initiatives to promote knowledge about his art, in collaboration with major international institutions. Moreover, he wished these initiatives could be directed at exploring the themes of "painting–space–time–history", which are in fact the fundamental elements of his art and his commitment. Near its headquarters at the Zattere, are the 2 Foundation’s exhibition spaces: the Magazzino del Sale – exhibition space designed by Renzo Piano – and the Spazio Vedova. The spaces are equipped with the latest technology for conserving and displaying works of art and host also works by other artists to create a dialogue with Vedova’s works.
