ARTNEWS: Magazzino, a New Home for Postwar Italian Art in Upstate New York, Announces Inaugural Show
February 27, 2017
Magazzino, a new home for Italian postwar and contemporary art in the Hudson Valley just north of New York City, will open to the public on June 28, with an exhibition dedicated to the influence and legacy of Margherita Stein, a late Italian dealer associated with artists active in Arte Povera circles and beyond.
Formally designated Magazzino for Italian Art (or “Warehouse for Italian Art”), the enterprise will feature a two-building, 18,000-square-foot campus on the former site of a dairy operation and later a computer factory. Located in the town of Cold Spring, about an hour north of the city along the Hudson River, Magazzino will be free to the public and open by appointment, timed to the Metro-North train schedule into the Cold Spring station.
