An Italian Legacy Meets Contemporary Vision in Miami
Frascione Gallery, a distinguished Italian art gallery with roots stretching back to Florence in 1893, is set to make its highly anticipated Art Miami debut from December 3-8, 2024, at Booth AM325. Known for its expertise in Old Master works and historical European art traditions, Frascione Gallery will present a curated selection of Modern and Contemporary pieces that pay homage to Italy’s artistic heritage while embracing new perspectives. This dynamic collection reflects the gallery’s ability to bridge classical art with the modern era, inviting collectors to explore dialogues that span centuries.
A Family Legacy
At the helm of Frascione Gallery is Federico Gandolfi Vannini, a fourth-generation owner dedicated to honoring his family’s legacy. Vannini sees Art Miami as an opportunity to connect with a new audience while engaging longtime collectors through art that resonates across eras.
Our selection for Art Miami showcases both the continuity of artistic heritage and the innovation of contemporary perspectives. This pairing allows us to engage new audiences and long-time collectors alike, fostering dialogues across time.
