SANDRO BONGIANI CONTEMPORARY ART / INVITATION:

[Giovanni Bonanno]

SANDRO BONGIANI CONTEMPORARY ART

INVITATION:

As for several years we have been preparing the collective exhibition that will be officially presented as a collateral event in conjunction with the 61st Venice Biennale 2026. The works present in the Bongiani Art Museum Collection will be presented. The event will include 70 years of artistic research (1956-2026),

The collection includes the reconnaissance of the artistic proposals carried out by significant artists dedicated to research and experimentation such as Hans Hartung, Max Bill, Arman, Chillida, Victor Vasarely, Robert Rauschemberg, Ugo Nespolo, Giulio Turcato, Luca Alinari, Tommaso Cascella, Shozo Shimamoto, Ryosuke Cohen, Ruggero Maggi and several other important prestigious authors who over the years, from 1979 to today, have believed in the validity of our project to create a collection of historical and contemporary works intended at the end of the collection to be donated to a public museum to be exhibited permanently. The works of several artists not yet present in this collection will be chosen from these historical artists.

The event will officially take place from May 9th to November 22nd, curated by Sandro Bongiani and with the collaboration of Ruggero Maggi at the interactive startup “Collezione Bongiani Art Museum.

I renew the invitation to artists to donate some works to the Bongiani collection in view of this or other events to be held. The works received will be included by us in the respective Bongiani Collection and several works, if relevant to the theme of this Biennale in May 2026, will be chosen for this important group exhibition. Please note that all works received by post or courier by January 31, 2026 with the photo of the work attached are considered “Donated”, therefore they will not be returned, but will be part of the Bongiani Collection.

For clarifications write or call: Sandro Bongiani, Collezione Bongiani Art Museum Via Salvatore Calenda 105/D 84126 Salerno (Italy).
