the Collection

The Collections is the official catalogue of the permanent collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art, which is housed in Turin’s Rivoli Castle. This castle was commissioned in 1718 by the king of Italy and has been home to the Museum’s splendid contemporary collection since 1984. Some of the artists represented are Carla Accardi, Pier Paolo Calzolari, Luciano Fabro, Lucio Fontana, Richard Long, Claes Oldenburg, Tony Cragg and James Lee Byars. Each reproduced work is accompanied by biographical information that situates each artist historically.
