Buy Torino+Piemonte Card→Nan Goldin’s Ballad of Sexual Dependency, and four more shows
The main exhibition, from 29 October 2026 to 28 March 2027, is Nan Goldin’s The Ballad of Sexual Dependency, curated by Goldin herself; she’s also one of the artists with work on the Pista 500 at the Pinacoteca Agnelli. Four other projects run at the same time, by Joseph Yaeger, Louis Morlæ, Aziza Kadyri and Andrea Bowers.
The foundation shows temporary exhibitions of young and established artists, and the collection its founder began in 1992 isn’t on permanent display, so the shows are the reason to come.
One of Italy’s first private art foundations, in a converted industrial building
Patrizia Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, its president, set up the foundation in April 1995 as a private, non-profit body, one of the first of its kind in Italy. Its first seat was an 18th-century palace at Guarene, opened in 1997; the Turin gallery followed in 2002, and an art park on the hill of San Licerio in 2019.
The gallery is the work of the architect Claudio Silvestrin, in a former industrial building facing the Fergat garden, and the conversion won a gold medal at the Milan Triennale of 2003.
