"Founded by Laurent Asscher, AMA VENEZIA joins the ranks of contemporary art foundations seeking to expand beyond what originated as personal collections to share them with a broad community of art lovers."

"This curated selection focuses primarily on painting to contemplate the dynamic tension between mechanical reproduction and the gestural as it relates to mark-making, an essential component of aesthetic compositions. Long considered in opposition—painting is either produced by hand or machine, with the latter being considered less valuable—artists today refuse to honor this binary system."
