A laboratory of art and thought
The Fondazione Baruchello is a cultural institution devoted to preserving, promoting and living the work of the visionary Italian artist Gianfranco Baruchello (1924–2023). Born in 1998 from a generous donation by the artist and Carla Subrizi, the Foundation has turned his former home and studio, in the heart of the surrounding landscape, into a space open to experimentation and cultural reflection.
The artist
«Since the early 1960s Gianfranco Baruchello has developed one of the most experimental artistic practices on the Italian scene, exploring painting, installation, assemblage, film, photography and sound, and expanding visual research well beyond traditional languages, working with the tools of agriculture, anthropology and economics as forms of critical analysis of consumer society.» (from the website of the Museo Madre, Naples)
The two seats
The Fondazione Baruchello has two seats. The first is the home and studio donated by the artist, in via di Santa Cornelia, in the Veio Park: it holds a library of about 60,000 volumes, the artist's historical archive and many of his works. The second, in via del Vascello, in the Monteverde Vecchio district of Rome, has been active since 2016 and hosts exhibitions, meetings, seminars, conferences, book presentations and performances.
