Why is Torino such an important centre for contemporary and avant-garde art?

Back from @artissimafair with fresh perspectives and a reflection on the city behind the fair: Turin has been a centre of artistic experimentation and a driving force in Italian contemporary art for decades.

Part of the answer lies in its industrial history. The city of Fiat was also a place of social change, labour movements and intellectual debate. Industrial wealth helped support collecting, while artists questioned the relationship between production, consumption, nature and everyday life.

In the 1960s, Turin became a crucial centre for Arte Povera. Artists including Mario and Marisa Merz, Michelangelo Pistoletto and Alighiero Boetti challenged established ideas of what art could be, working with everyday materials, physical processes and unconventional forms. Pioneering gallerists such as Gian Enzo Sperone and Christian Stein gave these experiments a platform, connecting the city to the international avant-garde.

What makes Turin particularly interesting is the continuity of that commitment. Castello di Rivoli, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo and a wider network of museums, foundations and collectors have helped turn a remarkable artistic moment into an enduring culture of supporting new work.

There is also a tangible connection between private patronage and public access: acquisitions made at Artissima through Fondazione Arte CRT enrich the collections of GAM and Castello di Rivoli, allowing discoveries at the fair to become part of the city’s cultural heritage.

Artissima belongs to this history. Its emphasis on research, emerging practices and rediscovery reflects a city where experimentation has long found both an audience and sustained support.

Sharing a few highlights from the fair, with an appreciation for the city that makes this fair possible and the visionary galleries daring to break rules.

Bianca’s Frieze London highlights—and three takeaways from a week at the fair @friezeofficial

1. Latin America in focus. A strong Brazilian presence, Puerto Rico made its Frieze debut with @embajadada gallery, while @studiolenca’s Deutsche Bank Lounge takeover put migration and belonging centre stage.

2. Looking inward. Issy Wood’s psychologically charged portrait captured a mood we felt across the fair: introspection over geopolitical commentary. Art as refuge, perhaps?

3. The market is alive and well, and good works move fast. Several works on our watchlist sold within hours of the VIP opening. By day two, some decisions had been made for us.

These are the works that made us stop. Which would you take home?

A late summer day at The 61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia – In Minor Keys by Koyo Kouoh @labiennale.

A few favourites across Arsenale and Giardini included India & Saudi Arabia pavilions, exploring the concept of home and belonging, as well as Italy’s forest of minor deities “Con Te Con Tutto” by @chiara.camoni and the gamified escape room interpretation of Plato’s cave by @angelidakis for the Greek pavilion. The participative experience of maternity with 5kg dolls in the Japanese pavilion was also thought provoking, intending to spark debate around surrogacy, diversity and declining birth rates.

Vanessa Jackson RA at the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition 2026

@vanessajackson1934 @royalacademyarts @artvisor

Vanessa Jackson RA (b. 1953, UK) is a painter and installation wall painter, whose use of geometry and its three dimensional function deny the supposed flatness of modernist space. Her work explores the contradiction of a fully realised space at once pertaining to logic and completeness and uncertainty and unease. The ornamental and optical play of colour and form in the artist’s work both confirms and confuses the sense of perception.

Her prolific teaching career has seen her serve as Head of Painting at Winchester School of Art for nine years, as MA and Research Tutor at the Royal College of Art for fourteen years and as a Senior Tutor at the RA Schools for fifteen years until 2013. She is presently on the Edwin Austin Abbey Council and the British School at Rome Fine Art Faculty, for which she was previously awarded the Abbey Fellowship in 1995.
