The Artémis Group's collection of contemporary art brings together exceptional works which are regularly loaned to the world's greatest museums.
The Art Division also includes two exhibition halls in the City of Venice that underwent restoration, overseen by Japanese architect Tadao Ando. Palazzo Grassi, has reopened in 2006, and the reopening of La Punta della Dogana, in 2009, was welcomed worldwide as a major artistic, cultural and architectural event.
The exhibitions organised since the reopening of both places have been hailed by the public as great successes, with over 1.2 million visitors so far:
Where Are We Going?

Mapping the Studio
They illustrate the determination to bring contemporary culture to people who are passionate about art in Venice, across Italy and, more widely, on the international stage.
Through a range of initiatives (regular rotation of exhibitions, educational workshops, lectures, conferences and events), Palazzo Grassi and La Punta della Dogana aim to become not only places of creation, exchange and research but spaces that are open to the surrounding local and international environments. |
