Marco Anelli: Building Magazzino 2014-2024

Magazzino Italian Art is pleased to announce Marco Anelli: Building Magazzino 2014–2024, an exhibition showcasing photographs taken over the course of the past decade by Italian-born, New York-based photographer Marco Anelli.

Commissioned by Magazzino, Anelli’s photographs chronicle the transformation of the museum from a conceptual vision for a center for Italian Post-war art into its current form—a campus with two buildings, a renowned permanent collection, eagerly anticipated temporary exhibitions, and the first and only research center of its kind in the US.
