Luigi Fassi will direct Artissima for two more years

Luigi Fassi has been confirmed as the director of Artissima International Contemporary Art Fair for the two-year period 2025-2026. Artissima, under Fassi’s direction from 2022 to 2024, has worked to consolidate its dual identity: on the one hand, a globally renowned, curatorial-oriented trade fair, and on the other, a cultural enterprise, capable of working together with gallerists and artists to develop projects and concretize ideas. During his tenure, Fassi has strengthened Artissima’s role as a bridge between Turin, Italy and the international contemporary art scene.

In the words of Fondazione Torino Musei President Massimo Broccio, “The Artissima Fair in the last three years, under the refined and cultured direction of Luigi Fassi, has further strengthened its international positioning and unquestionable leadership role for the contemporary art system. It was therefore natural-and it is with great joy that the Board of Directors of the Torino Musei Foundation expressed this view-to continue with the director’s appointment for the further two-year period 2025-2026 as already provided for in previous agreements. Internationalization, cooperation, enterprise and cultural value are the key words that have marked the growth of the fair under Luigi Fassi’s leadership and will also be the basis of its development in the coming years with an increasing institutional role.”

Luigi Fassi declares, “I am happy to continue with commitment and enthusiasm the development of the fair in the biennium 2025-2026, to better and better respond to the visionary nature of the proposals of the Italian and international gallerists who for 32 years have defined the unique identity of Artissima. Equal trust and cooperation will also grow with the female and male collectors who consider Artissima the point of reference for the discovery of new talent. In the coming editions, Artissima will further strengthen its institutional role, intensifying its collaboration with museums, foundations and their directors on a shared path of research and innovation. These two years represent an opportunity to grow further as a community, uniting the hearts and minds of those who believe in the freedom of art as the key to facing the transformations of the future.”
