Established in 1999, the aim of the Galleria d’Arte Frediano Farsetti is to stage major retrospectives devoted to Italian and international 20th-century masters alongside exhibitions that are more geared towards contemporary practices and photography.   

Among the exhibitions held over the years, the following are worth mentioning: Pellizza Da Volpedo e Balla (Dal Divisionismo al Futurismo), 2000; Pablo Picasso e alcuni amici di Parigi, 2001; Giorgio de Chirico romantico e barocco, 2001; Filippo de Pisis artista d’Europa, 2001; Modigliani: disegni e acquerelli, 2002; Mario Sironi, 2002; Aria di Parigi, tre toscani a La Ruche: Soffici, Modigliani, Viani, 2003; Soutine, Kisling, Utrillo e la Parigi di Montparnasse, 2003; Dalì all’eternità, 2004; Lucio Fontana, un maestro e le sue tecniche, 2005; Golden Venice da Guardi a Fontana, 2007; Da Fontana a Castellani: artisti oltre la forma, 2010. In 2011, the gallery devoted a solo show with over fifty paintings to Giorgio Morandi. In 2012, it staged the exhibitions: La neometafisica: Giorgio de Chirico e Andy Warhol; Hans Hartung: opere scelte 1947-1988; Giuliano Vangi: disegni e sculture.

“The purchase that pays off is the one made out of passion and not financial calculation.”

In conversation with Sonia Farsetti, Galleria d’Arte Frediano Farsetti

Tell us about your background.

Although I graduated in law, my enthusiasm and desire to continue the family business took precedence.

Your program: what kind of art do you handle?

Italian and foreign modern and contemporary art.

What are your criteria for selecting the artists you represent?

We usually work with well-established names but in recent years we have also staged solo and group exhibitions for contemporary artists, both Italian and foreign. As for selection criteria, we try to anticipate the interests of the public while always remaining consistent with the history of our gallery.

Have you learned anything important from an artist or collector?

The purchase that pays off is the one made out of passion and not financial calculation.

Which work of art would you choose to take with you on a desert island?

Les demoiselles d’Avignon by Pablo Picasso.
