Magazzino, the new private warehouse art space in the Hudson Valley devoted to
Postwar and Contemporary Italian art, officially opens to the public with an inaugural exhibition paying homage to Margherita Stein. ‘Margherita Stein: Rebel With a Cause’ celebrates the historic founder of Galleria Christian Stein (Turin, Italy), one of the pioneers of the Arte Povera movement. The exhibition focuses on honoring Stein’s legacy in the United States by fostering a renewed dialogue around Post-war Italian art.
