Fondazione Arte CRT, the art-focused institution of Fondazione CRT, is once again renewing its support for Artissima this year, confirming a €300,000 acquisition fund for the GAM – Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Torino and the Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea.
For over twenty-five years, Fondazione Arte CRT has been one of the leading partners of Turin’s international contemporary art fair, supporting it through a wide-ranging commitment to promoting contemporary artistic research and strengthening the city’s public art collections. The acquisition programme lies at the heart of this commitment and is one of the most tangible ways in which the Foundation contributes to the growth of the collections of the region’s two leading contemporary art museums.
Following the increase approved last year, Fondazione Arte CRT is once again confirming its €300,000 acquisition fund for 2026, consolidating one of the most significant investments in acquisitions made in recent years. This decision reflects the Foundation’s determination to continue supporting the work of galleries and artists exhibiting at the fair, while investing in the growth of a shared public heritage that remains accessible to all and in constant dialogue with developments in the international art scene.
At the 2026 edition of Artissima, the Foundation has acquired 15 new works by 11 artists: Michel Auder (Fonti, Napoli), Juliana Frontin (Yehudi Hollander-Pappi, Sao Paulo), Renata Lucas (A Gentil Carioca, Rio de Janeiro), Hu Yun (A+ WORKS OF ART, Kuala Lumpur), Akram Zaatari (Thomas Dane Gallery, London and Napoli) for the permanent collection of Castello di Rivoli Museum of Contemporary Art; Rossella Biscotti (mor charpentier, Paris), Flavio Favelli (Studio SALES, Roma), Linda Fregni Nagler (Monica De Cardenas, Milano, Zuoz), Dora Garcia (LAVERONICA, Modica); Thomas Hirschhorn (Alfonso Artiaco, Napoli), Boris Mikhailov (Guido Costa Projects, Torino), for the collection of GAM – Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Torino.
