Collector Talk: The Collector Couple Who Met Each Other at Venice Biennale

?Marco and Valeria Curina met each other at Biennale di Venezia — Marco declared that it was his happiest moment related to art as he has found someone to share his passion with. Valeria used to be an artist studio manager while Marco is an entrepreneur in pharmaceutical industry. Together they have been building up the MarVal Collection which is currently comprised of around 400 artworks by over 150 contemporary artists. Last year, Valeria organized an exhibition of some of the female artists in their collection in a castle not far from Milan.

Marco explained to LARRY’S LIST how he started by collecting local Italian artists; why it is important for them to support young souls; where they have exhibited some of the artworks from the collection; his thoughts about being told bluntly “We sold everything” by a gallery person when he wanted to know more about the artist on display; and the upcoming art shows he is looking forward to.
