MASSIMODECARLO gallery was founded in 1987. It switfly stood out on the international artistic scene for its bold, counter-current choices: the gallery focused on lesser-known artists in Italy such as John Armleder, Olivier Mosset, Steven Parrino and Carsten Höller. In the following years, the gallery program expanded to include prominent young artists of the time such as Alighiero Boetti, Cady Noland, Rudolf Stingel, and Felix Gonzalez-Torres.
For over 30 years, MASSIMODECARLO has played a fundamental role in the contemporary art scene by promoting a vital dialogue between artists and national and international institutions, as well as relationships with other galleries, critics, curators and collectors.
MASSIMODECARLO works with an extraordinary variety of artists across mediums, from painting, drawing, installation, sculpture, photography, and performance to video. Over the years, the gallery’s artists have gained international recognition, showing their work in galleries, museums and biennials across the world and by accessing outstanding public and private collections.
