Artforum: Collectors to open Hudson Rover Valley Art Space of Italian Postwar and Contemporary art in 2017

Art patrons Nancy Olnick and Giorgio Spanu have announced that they are planning to open an art space in Cold Spring, New York, which will house their collection of four hundred works of Italian postwar and contemporary art.

The couple has been committed to bringing Arte Povera, a conceptual Italian art movement that emerged in the 1960s, to a US audience since they were first exposed to the works when they lived in Rome for a year. “The only drawback to collecting Arte Povera is that much of the work is huge in scale,” Olnick said. “This led us to look for an appropriate space to display the artwork.”
