New York Times announces the launch of Magazzino of Italian Art, a new art warehouse and library in the Hudson Valley devoted to Postwar and Contemporary Italian art.
Located in Cold Spring, NY, the new space and initiative will be led by Director Vittorio Calabrese. Magazzino will be open in summer 2017 by appointment only and there will be no charge for admission.
Founded by art advocates Nancy Olnick and Giorgio Spanu, Magazzino will house works from the Olnick Spanu Collection.
The new art warehouse conceived and designed by Spanish architect Miguel Garcia Quismondo will feature a permanent collection which will be rotating as well as an extensive library of Italian art.
Magazzino will also host programs for the local community, surrounding universities, art historians and scholars.
As residents of the Hudson Valley community for more than 25 years, Nancy and Giorgio look forward to opening a space that gives access to works of Italian art not previously seen in the United States.
