THE STORY OF THE FOUNDATION

1992 BIRTH OF THE FOUNDATION

In 1992, Piero Manzoni’s four siblings (Maria Melania, Elena, Giacomo and Giuseppe) founded the Archivio Opera Piero Manzoni, a non-profit association.

The aim of the archive was to valorize the artist through:

  • historical research, gathering information and material regarding Piero Manzoni, his life and his works;
  • archiving and continuing to define the corpus of authentic works; 
  • collaboration with institutions to organize exhibitions, or with scholars to produce publications and research projects;
  • consultancy regarding appropriate conservation of the works.
