Magazzino Italian Art Opens Pavilion Designed by Alberto Campo Baeza and Miguel Quismondo

The only American museum dedicated to postwar and contemporary art from Italy, the Hudson Valley’s Magazzino Italian Art is expanding its campus in Cold Spring, New York, with a 13,000-square-foot building crafted by Spanish architects Alberto Campo Baeza and Miguel Quismondo. Dubbed the Robert Olnick Pavilion, the poetic concrete structure will officially open on September 14 with exhibitions dedicated to artists Mario Schifano and Carlo Scarpa, plus a special installation by Ettore Spalletti that activates the architecture with large-scale works. “The main space will embody the beauty of the artwork it exhibits, and with an isotropic design that carves an opening into every corner, each detail will be touched by magnificent sunlight,” says Campo Baeza.
