Magazzino Italian Art prepares to unveil a minimalist concrete pavilion in September.

Magazzino Italian Art has revealed initial images of the newly completed Robert Olnick Pavilion, designed by architects Alberto Campo Baeza and Miguel Quismondo, in preparation for its opening in September. The pavilion will serve as a second structure for the museum and research center, which focuses on postwar and contemporary Italian art in the United States. With its minimalist scheme, the pavilion offers 13,000 square feet of exhibition space, a multipurpose room, a café, and a gallery dedicated to Italian decorative arts. Campo Baeza and Quismondo describe the pavilion as a white cube infused with light, meticulously crafted to showcase the beauty of the exhibited artwork.
