During its early years of activity, the gallery, founded in 1973 in Brescia, has mainly followed the movements of Conceptual Art, of Poor Art and of Minimal Art. Starting from the second half of the Seventies and the first half of the Eighties, it follows the work of some Italian and foreign young artists (Didier Vermeiren, Bertrand Lavier, Anish Kapoor, Alberto Garutti. Willi Kopf, Gerwald Rockenschaub), who will be the ideal continuers of those experiences. The gallery also has a ‘figurative’ aspect, represented by artists, such as Salvo, Ontani, Levini, Salvatori, Van Elk, Dokoupil, and others. In the past few years, the gallery has favoured a group of young Italian artists ((Eva Marisaldi, Mario Airò, Stefano Arienti, Maurizio Cattelan, Marco Mazzucconi, Vanessa Beecroft, Amedeo Martegani, Serse, Alessandra Tesi, Ryan Mendoza) in order to give them an international support in their work. As work promotion, besides press releases on magazines, such as Flash Art, Tema Celeste, Artforum, Juliet, Il Giornale dell'Arte, Parkett, the gallery also exhibits in some important fairs: Basel in June, Turin and Paris in October, Bologna in January, Brussells in April.
