Collezione Maramotti

Collezione Maramotti is a private contemporary art collection which opened to visitors in 2007 in the historical headquarters of Max Mara company.

The Collection consists of several hundred works of art that date from 1945 to the present, of which something more than two hundred are on permanent display as an in-depth presentation of a number of the central artistic tendencies, both Italian and international, of the second half of the 20th century. 
Ever since the opening of Collezione Maramotti, its permanent collection has been flanked by a systematic program of exhibitions and commissioned projects in the areas of the building which specifically function as venues for temporary events.

 

In particular, two new temporary projects will be on view at the Collection from 27 October 2024 to 16 February 2025:    

  • Through the Floods, a large group exhibition conceived from works from the Collection's archive - many of which have never been exhibited in these spaces - on the theme of catastrophe accompanied, for the first time, by masterpieces of art from the past on loan from important Italian and international institutions. With more than fifty works from the 12th century B.C. to 2024, the exhibition takes an asynchronous look at the catastrophes of mankind and the world, evoking correspondences between images belonging to distant epochs, but also revealing the changes in sensitivity and perception of the experience of disaster over time.
  • Deadweight by Dominique White, winner of the ninth edition of the Max Mara Art Prize for Women, which presents the group of works created in 2024. Following the first stage of the exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery in London, White has designed a new installation adapted to the spaces of the Collection.
    Deadweight is a thought-provoking exploration of rebellion and transformation, and comprises four large sculptures that continue the artist's interest in creating new worlds around the concept of ‘Blackness’ and the allure of the metaphorical power and regenerative force of the sea.

 

The permanent installation is also worth a visit: A permanently open window by Jason Dodge, a site-specific project for a disused industrial space converted into a business centre. The permanent installation can be visited on request on Saturdays and Sundays at the following times: April to September from 5 p.m. to 6.30 p.m.; October to March from 1 p.m. to 1.30 p.m. and from 2.30 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Free admission.
Access to the temporary exhibitions is free on Thursday and Friday from 2.30 pm to 6.30 pm; Saturday and Sunday from 10.30 am to 6.30 pm.
The entire exhibition is accessible for persons with motor disabilities.
