Gallery in Monaco

Fabrizio Moretti’s new Art Gallery in Monaco

Not to be confused with the musician with the same name from the New York band The Strokes. The Fabrizio Moretti who is settling in Monaco is a star in the art world. A prominent specialist in Tuscan art and ancient painting from the 14th to the 18th centuries, the 40-year-old collector, son of an antique dealer, grew up in a Florentine world. A gallery in Florence and another in London have given him international influence. He chose to complete his triptych by occupying 200 square meters at the Park Palace, overlooking the Place du Casino.
The former premises of Credit Suisse will now house other treasures, with the aim of becoming a new cultural center.
“I think this is the most beautiful gallery I have at the moment,” said the gallery owner, after an opening evening that brought together many collectors established in the Principality. “I am glad I had such an opportunity to open this place that I imagined as a private home.”
A change in the Principality
His first memory in Monaco was in 2001, for the Biennale des Antiquaires, which he participated in with his father.
“Today, artistically, we feel that we are in a process of change in Monaco. The Principality has the assets and the clientele to be an artistic place. There is the possibility here of meeting people and customers in a friendly way, not like in the big capitals.”
His recent favorites in the Principality? “The Francis Bacon exhibition was incredible. In New York, the public would have lined up to see it. I also like the work of Cristiano Raimondi at the NMNM and projects from Art Monte-Carlo.”
Currently in his gallery, Fabrizio Moretti is presenting a series of impressive ceramics by Luca Della Robbia, one of the Renaissance fathers. And during the summer, the gallery will unveil paintings from masters of Impressionism.

GUSTAVE LOISEAU 1865 - 1935 PAYSAGE DE DORDOGNE Beynac, the strategic importance of the Cliff and its plateau had a direct influence on the architectural approach to the defense works.

Animals Have Died

How Many Animals Have Died for Damien Hirst’s Art to Live? We Counted. Nearly one million, by our conservative estimate. Damien Hirst is back . More than a decade after he last made headlines, the artist has a new exhibition at François Pinault’s Palazzo Grassi and Punta Della Dogana in Venice with a new body of work that delves into the imagined story of an ancient collector and the shipwreck that consigned his treasures to the bottom of the sea. One of the many noteworthy elements of the show? It doesn’t contain the unusual art material that has powered Hirst’s most famous work: the dead bodies of animals. Ever since his explosive entry to the British art scene with his 1990 masterpiece  One Thousand Years —a vitrine featuring a rotting cow skull that breeds maggots that become flies that meet their end from a buzzing bug zapper above—Hirst has made mortality the great theme of his oeuvre. He deploys real cadavers in gallery settings to confront viewers with the...
