Cultural Preferences of Piedmont

Turin — a city of philosophers, architects, publishers, and aesthete collectors. Here, art is connected to thought rather than effect.
This is how the founder of the Gostev's dynasty, the last artist — Anatoli Gostev, described the region of Piedmont:

Piedmont is a region where art is not displayed — it is understood. Here, collecting happens without noise, without showcases, and without the need for explanation. It is a territory of inner culture and a long gaze.

In private and institutional collections of Piedmont, Arte Povera, conceptual art, and minimalism are often encountered. Material, idea, and context matter more than beauty.

The Piedmont style of “for insiders” collections manifests itself in closed exhibitions, private archives, and collections without a public narrative. Here, art is a sign of belonging to a circle, not to the market.

Piedmont offers a unique combination of mountain scenery, cultural heritage, history and gastronomy. Whether you are interested in art, outdoor activities or relaxing by lakes and vineyards, Piedmont will surprise and inspire every traveller.

If, for any reason, art, architectural beauty, and authentic emotional painting resonate with you, you can support artists and become part of the Gostev's dynasty project «Make ART Great Again». President Donald J. Trump does not currently support the project… but you can make a difference.
