Behind the scenes 2025

On Monday, January 27, 2025, Trium Art Gallery held the first official meeting of its Investment Committee – a strategic discussion among the founding partners and two distinguished figures from the worlds of art and finance, Claudia Tani and Alberto Navilli.

The Committee is responsible for defining the gallery’s strategic guidelines, blending artistic vision with in-depth market expertise to ensure a thoughtful, forward-thinking, and mission-aligned approach to management.

The art market

The meeting began with an in-depth reflection on the art market, highlighting how Italy, despite certain challenges, continues to present significant opportunities for collectors and investors.

While the country faces a less favorable tax framework compared to other European nations – particularly France and Germany – the Italian market remains distinguished by the exceptional quality and prestige of its artworks, attracting growing interest both nationally and internationally.

At a global level, several intriguing trends are emerging. High-quality Indian and Brazilian art is gaining increasing international attention, while there is a renewed interest in Gothic and Surrealist aesthetics. Additionally, figurative painting – particularly from emerging artists – is capturing the public’s attention when supported by strong thematic narratives and solid conceptual research.

A particularly noteworthy observation discussed during the meeting concerns a defining characteristic of the art market in recent years: more frequently, it is the market itself that establishes an artist’s success even before institutional recognition. This underscores the critical importance of continuously and meticulously monitoring market dynamics to anticipate shifts in artistic valuation and demand.

Talent Scouting: approach to emerging artists

One of the gallery’s most ambitious goals for the future is to take on an active role in discovering and promoting exceptionally talented young artists. Notably, it has been observed that some remarkably young artists, trained in both national and international academies, have already produced works of extraordinary value – both in terms of artistic expression and conceptual depth.

Trium Art Gallery is committed to talent scouting, carefully selecting and supporting artists whose research and artistic journey present a genuine opportunity in the art market.

This initiative holds not only economic but also social and cultural significance. Supporting young artists will go beyond mere promotion; it will materialize through collaborations with academies, institutions, and other galleries to enhance their value and facilitate their entry into the international art market. The communication of this initiative will be handled with precision and transparency, ensuring that the selected talents receive the visibility they deserve while maximizing opportunities for their professional growth.

Contemporary artists

Alongside the search for new talents, the gallery will continue its mission of promoting and enhancing the value of established contemporary artists. The selection process will focus on artists with significant credentials and strong growth potential in the market.

This initiative has a dual objective: on one hand, to increase the international visibility and market value of Italian artists; on the other, to introduce established international artists to the Italian public, creating new investment opportunities.

This strategy will strengthen the gallery’s position in the global art market, acting as a bridge between artists and collectors from different countries while contributing to the appreciation and development of the contemporary art scene.

Post-War art and established artists

Another key pillar of the gallery’s activity remains the research and promotion of established artists from the post-war and modern periods who have profoundly shaped the artistic language of the 20th century and represent solid investment opportunities. The focus will be on internationally recognized artists, already appreciated by critics and the market, yet still offering significant potential for further value growth.

Among the selected artists are renowned names such as Giorgio Griffa, Donald Baechler, Agostino Bonalumi, Mimmo Rotella, Gianfranco Baruchello, Emilio Tadini, Pino Pinelli, Tano Festa, Mario Schifano, Esther Mahlangu, and many others. In particular, Emilio Tadini stands as a remarkable case of an artist still undervalued relative to his historical and artistic significance and his prestigious international career. His works remain highly accessible, with prices well below the importance he holds in both the national and international art scene.

The gallery will actively select and acquire works from these artists, fully aware of the cyclical nature of the market, which periodically shifts its focus between different artistic figures.

Recent examples of market reevaluation highlight the importance of this approach: artists such as Salvo, Alighiero Boetti, and Valerio Adami have experienced a substantial increase in their market value in recent years, consolidating their positions in the art world. The gallery’s strategy will therefore focus on identifying artists with similar potential, contributing to their appreciation and creating new opportunities for collectors and investors.

Conclusions and initiatives

The meeting concluded with a renewed commitment from the gallery to the art market, with a strong focus on the promotion and enhancement of both emerging young talents and internationally established contemporary artists. At the same time, the gallery will continue its involvement in the secondary market through the research, selection, and promotion of key 20th-century artists, both Italian and international, who possess a highly significant career background while still offering considerable potential for market growth.

The primary goal is to solidify the gallery’s role as a reference point for collectors and investors, ensuring a careful and strategic selection of the artworks presented.

Trium Art Gallery will continue to operate with an international perspective, fostering cultural exchange between Italian and foreign artists and contributing to the growth of the art market through valuable proposals and targeted strategies.
