KUNST UND BIBEL

Art and the Bible - Kunst und Bibel. Works of modern and contemporary art from the Italian Mart and granted by the German collector Volker Feierabend, by Dr. Klaus Wolbert Executive Chairman of the Foundation VAF.

The initiative is promoted by the German government, represented by the Consulate General of Germany in collaboration with the Goethe Institute in Milan as part of the initiatives of rapprochement to the Five hundredth of the Reformation Lutheran.

The collection of the VAF Foundation is counted among the largest collections of modern and contemporary Italian.

By virtue of the great number of artists represented and the rich stylistic diversity of the works, it can also be regarded in art-historical terms as bearing key witness to the Italian art of our time and its contribution at the international level. Importance attaches not only to the breadth of the period involved, from the dawn of the 20th century to the present day, but also to the extraordinary wealth of information provided by a vast selection of works distinguished among other things by a markedly unconventional approach to collecting. It thus includes both major works by the leading and best-known practitioners of modern and contemporary Italian art but also recently discovered treasures revealing the creative skills of artists now developing the canonical model of art in Italy.
