The aim of the Righi Collection Award, in its third edition in 2025, is to acquire a work at Arte Fiera that will be added to the collections of MAMbo - Museo d’arte moderna e contemporanea di Bologna, with specific focus on the work of recent generations of Italian artists.
Currently consisting of over a thousand works of museum-like quality, the Righi Collection, one of Italy’s largest private collections of contemporary art, was created to work actively with the public and the community. Over the past thirty years, it has supported the work of artists (and of galleries) as well as the needs of public institutions.
It has formed a partnership with Museion in Bolzano (which stores a number of the collection’s works) and has co-produced projects included in international exhibitions such as the Venice Biennial of Art and the Kassel documenta. The collection has also been the subject of exhibitions in museums and institutions such as the Collection Lambert in Avignone, Museion in Bolzano, Castello di Rivoli in Turin, Grand Palais in Paris, and Palazzo Fortuny in Venice.
