Magazzino Italian Art was pleased to welcome guests on August 22, 2024 for the opening of Marco Anelli: Building Magazzino 2014-2024. The an exhibition showcases photographs taken over the course of the past decade by Italian-born, New York-based photographer Marco Anelli.

Commissioned by Magazzino, Anelli’s photographs chronicle the transformation of the museum from a conceptual vision for a center for Italian Post-war art into its current form—a campus with two buildings, a renowned permanent collection, eagerly anticipated temporary exhibitions, and the first and only research center of its kind in the US.

Curated by Paola Mura in close coordination with Anelli, the exhibition will be on view in Magazzino’s new Robert Olnick Pavilion and present around 50 exceptional, large-scale images capturing the conception and construction of the Museum, including images of its buildings in progress and portraits of the dozens of construction workers and craftspeople who together built the institution.
