Library
Collezione Maramotti’s Art Archive and Library hold a wealth of records, materials and publications related to its contemporary art collection, bearing witness to its history and identity.
Located on the ground floor, the Archive holds print and digital documentation regarding the artists and works in the Collezione, with a particular focus on the period from the 1960s to the present. It is constantly growing, as it collects and adds material about the projects and temporary exhibitions that Collezione Maramotti has presented since opening to the public in 2007.
The Library is devoted to publications about artists in the Collezione and to contemporary art writing, including essays, monographs on artists, and exhibition catalogues. Particular attention is paid to artists’ books, visual and concrete poetry, and avant-garde art magazines from the 1960s and 1970s.
The task of digitalization runs parallel to the process of updating the materials, creating a dialogue among archival documents, books and artworks that is aimed at maximizing the potential of these artistic resources. For this reason, both the Archive and the Library are open by appointment to students, researchers and art lovers.
Various initiatives have been organized over the years to showcase the library and archival resources, through exhibitions such as Il Corpo figurato (2015), Rehang: Archives (2019), Show Case (2021) and Studio Visit (2021-2022).
