Imago Mundi Art

Imago Mundi is the Collection of artworks commissioned and collected by Luciano Benetton on his travels around the world.
With a single format, 10x12 cm, the Collection brings together artists from every continent: to date, more than 17,000 from 100 countries. Established names and emerging talents, young and old, women and men, all side by side on the same starting line. And all involved on a voluntary and non-profit basis.
Under the aegis of the Fondazione Benetton Studi Ricerche, Imago Mundi
brings together North and South, East and West, to create a dialogue in the name of Art. The result is an impassioned, creative, visionary kaleidoscope of techniques, colors, currents and inspirations. A mosaic of stories, passions, dreams, actions and contradictions, where each work lives by its own light, but at the same time serves as a piece in a global picture.
The Imago Mundi artists are promoted internationally through catalogs, the imagomundiart.com web platform and participation in art fairs and exhibitions in partnership with private and public institutions around the world: from Venice (Biennale 2013) to Senegal (Dak’Art Off 2014), from Rome (Museo Carlo Bilotti, 2014/2015) to New Orleans (NOMA, 2014/2015), from Vienna (Belvedere & Winter Palace, 2015) to Turin (Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, 2015) and Venice once again, in conjunction with the 56th Art Biennale (Fondazione Giorgio Cini, island of San Giorgio Maggiore, 2015).
