Il Giardino dei Lauri is the new space dedicated to contemporary art created by collectors Angela and Massimo Lauro to exhibit part of their personal collection.
The Lauro Collection, born in 1990 and currently including about 300 works, gathers the works of the major protagonists of the national and international contemporary art scene, representing as a whole an extraordinary narrative journey through the most current research in the field of visual arts. With the same dose of passion, curiosity and intuition that guided their choices, Angela and Massimo Lauro now make their most recent acquisitions available to the public in the suggestive location of Il Giardino dei Lauri, immersed in greenery on the border between Umbria and Tuscany.
A simple and fascinating 650 sqm industrial building, expertly recovered and renovated, and the actual garden, animated by 70 installations by new generation talents.
The group of artists present, mostly from Italy, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland and Poland, sees alongside the most classic names – such as Takashi Murakami, Mariko Mori, Roxy Paine, Michael Heizer, Rudolf Stingel, Ugo Rondinone, Tim Noble & Sue Webster, Massimo Bartolini and Maurizio Cattelan – a core of authors born between the late sixties and early eighties who have more recently emerged on the scene gaining important international acclaim, such as Aaron Young, Eric Wesley, Dash Snow, Piero Golia, Matthew Monahan, Piotr Uklanski, Urs Fischer, Gary Webb, Martin Creed and Jonathan Meese.
