Galleria Massimo Minini
Brescia, Italy

The collection comprises portraits of Italian artists by famous photographers such as Mulas, Giacomelli, Catalano, Gorgoni, Mussat Sartor and Cresci. He has loaned long-term to the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice, a large sculpture by Anish Kapoor.
2013 was an important year for the gallery that has celebrated 40 years of activity with a great publication 453-page book: Massimo Minini Quarantanni. 1973-2013, published by a+mbookstore, with drawings, letters, postcards, telegrams, photographs and invitations to the countless exhibitions and adventures that have been invented since 1973. From this book a very passionate exhibition has blossomed, “Forty Years of Contemporary Art. Massimo Minini 1973-2013”, a sweeping show to celebrate forty years of Galleria Minini at Triennale Museum in Milan.
The Massimo Minini Gallery participates in major international fairs, including Art Basel in Basel, Fiac in Paris, Artissima in Turin, Frieze in New York, and Miart in Milan.
