An original insight into Italian art of the 19th and 20th century

The book offers a survey of Italian art of the 19th and 20th century, based on the artworks which became part of the collection of Fondazione Guido e Ettore e Fornaris in Turin over the first forty years of its activity, since 1982. Collecting the Future is divided into thematic chapters which span different epochs, to shed light on how artists addressed and articulated subjects such as the relationship with nature or the idea of monument throughout the generations, ranging from Pellizza da Volpedo to Alberto Burri, from Giorgio Morandi to Pino Pascali.
