itk_Top 10 Favorite Artists


We just arrived from the Venice Biennale 2019. It was simply amazing!

The Venice Biennale has been for over 120 years one of the most prestigious art exhibition in the world. This year, titled as "May You Live In Interesting Times", a phrase of English invention that invokes periods of uncertainty, crisis and turmoil, exactly as the ones we live in today.

The 58th Exhibition is curated by Ralph Rugoff, currently the director of the Hayward Gallery in London. Between 1985 and 2002 he wrote art and cultural criticism for numerous periodicals, publishing widely in art magazines as well as newspapers, and published a collection of essays, Circus Americanus (1995).
