From October 9 to 11, 2026, Verona hosts a new edition of Art Verona, one of the most significant events on the Italian and European calendar dedicated to modern and contemporary art, under the artistic direction of Laura Lamonea. We are pleased to announce our participation in this edition with a presentation entirely dedicated to Rafael Baron – the artist’s first solo show in Italy, and the official start of his representation by Trium Art Gallery.
Nearly $31 trillion will change hands by 2035, from roughly 1.2 million individuals with a net worth above $5 million – the largest generational transfer of wealth ever recorded. This is the figure at the center of Deloitte’s latest Art & Finance Report, presented at the seventeenth edition of the Deloitte Private Art & Finance Conference in New York. Art and collectibles, conservatively estimated at 5% of that total, correspond to roughly $1 trillion in works set to change ownership over the next decade – nearly $100 billion a year.
A recent Artsy Editorial feature offers an in-depth conversation with Ernesto Esposito – designer, collector and artistic director – reflecting on more than four decades of engagement with contemporary art while exploring what collecting truly means today. Far removed from a vision shaped solely by the market, Esposito describes his collection as the result of a personal journey that began in the 1970s, when he acquired his very first artwork: a silkscreen from Andy Warhol’s celebrated Electric Chair series. It was not a decision driven by financial value, but by instinct. “Great works of art,” he explains, “do not provide answers. They continue to ask questions that remain with us throughout our lives.”
Emerging in the same years and within the same New York circles as Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring, yet developing a visual language entirely his own, Donald Baechler (1956–2022) built a vocabulary of faces, flowers and globes, rendered in a deliberately unsteady line over dense collaged backgrounds – a practice the artist always described as essentially abstract, grounded in questions of line, form and balance. The recent auction result of $179,200 in New York for The Butterfly Flower #3 (1996), mixed media – acrylic, paper and fabric collage on canvas – measuring 147.3 × 101.6 cm, has reignited international collector interest.
In a global market exceeding 65 billion dollars, we understand how decisive it is to select the right artist and artwork. Trium Art Gallery supports both emerging and established collectors in building modern and contemporary collections that reflect personal taste and grow in value over time.
