The UniCredit Art Gallery was inaugurated this month in Verona, starting with our initiative to open the cultural spaces of some of our flagship branches free to the public. The very first exhibition in this gallery, located inside our recently renovated branch in Via Garibaldi, is called The World of Objects.

The exhibition presents a selection of contemporary works from the UniCredit Art Collection that present us with new perspectives on everyday objects. These pieces by two Italian and four international artists challenge us to rethink how we represent, incorporate or interact with various objects in our daily life. For Handan Börüteçene, objects give voice to the history of places. For Giuseppe Penone objects are a bridge between man and substance, while Robin Rhode shows them as a creative dialogue. But whether the objects are Andrea Galvani’s mysterious or unexpected presences, Maria Friberg’s accumulations or Michael Johansson’s complex assemblages, the exhibition shows that objects interact with our spaces and with us, and speak to our time and our history.
