Galleria Toninelli Galleria Toninelli is an Italian private gallery and exhibition space renowned for modern and contemporary art. Located in a historic urban setting, it has hosted exhibitions, retrospectives, and curated projects engaging with international artists and institutions. The gallery has intersected with major museums, biennials, universities, and collectors across Europe and the Americas.
Founded in the late 20th century, the gallery emerged amid transformations affecting Venice Biennale, Documenta, Tate Modern, Museum of Modern Art, Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and Centre Pompidou. Early collaborations linked the space with figures associated with Marcel Duchamp, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Wassily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian, and Kazimir Malevich through loans and scholarly exchanges. The gallery’s programming has intersected with curators from Harvard University, Columbia University, Courtauld Institute of Art, The Getty, Smithsonian Institution and Louvre Museum. Over decades, relationships developed with collectors and patrons connected to Peggy Guggenheim, Albert C. Barnes, Solomon R. Guggenheim, Henrietta M. Bingham, Paul Mellon and Sotheby's. The gallery featured projects in dialogue with festivals including Art Basel, Frieze Art Fair, Venice Architecture Biennale, São Paulo Art Biennial and Biennale di Venezia. Partnerships extended to institutions such as National Gallery (London), Uffizi Gallery, Prado Museum, Rijksmuseum, Kunsthistorisches Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art, National Gallery of Art, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, Centre for Contemporary Arts (CCA) and Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
The gallery occupies a refurbished palazzo that references architectural precedents like Andrea Palladio, Filippo Brunelleschi, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Carlo Scarpa and Le Corbusier. Interiors evoke approaches from Luis Barragán, Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies van der Rohe, Alvar Aalto and Renzo Piano in lighting and circulation. Conservation-sensitive installations incorporate technologies associated with ICOMOS, ICCROM, UNESCO World Heritage Centre, European Commission cultural programs and standards promoted by ICOM. Structural interventions were overseen by architects trained at Politecnico di Milano, École des Beaux-Arts, Bartlett School of Architecture, ETH Zurich and Delft University of Technology. The spatial strategy references exhibition histories at Serpentine Galleries, Hayward Gallery, Whitechapel Gallery, Palais de Tokyo and MAXXI.
Exhibitions have ranged from solo retrospectives that echo presentations once seen at Tate Britain, Guggenheim Museum, Musée d'Orsay, Hayward Gallery, and Whitney Museum of American Art to group shows in the spirit of Fluxus, Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, Minimalism, Arte Povera and Postmodernism. The gallery curated thematic projects linking artists associated with Marcel Broodthaers, Joseph Beuys, Louise Bourgeois, Yayoi Kusama, Olafur Eliasson, Marina Abramović and Ai Weiwei.
