Fondazione Arte CRT confirm its Acquisition Fund to benefit the collections of GAM – Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna di Torino and Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea, reaching a total of 300,000 euros. Over the years, also through the acquisitions made inside Artissima, the foundation has fostered a remarkable collection of works of contemporary art, which is now one of the most prestigious on a national and international level: over 1000 works, ranging from painting to sculpture, video to photography, large installations to NFTs, created by about 380 artists, for an overall investment of about 43 million euros. Continuing its role of consultancy for the Foundation in the area of acquisitions, the Steering Committee of the Foundation takes part in the choice of acquisitions inside the fair, in synergy with the directors and head curators of Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea and GAM – Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, selecting works that further enrich the artistic heritage of both museums, centres of excellence in Piedmont and key players to bring art to a wider and heterogeneous audience on local, national and international levels.
