Palazzo Grassi Renovation
Palazzo Grassi was restored in 1983 by Gae Aulenti in order to hold art and historical exhibitions for the Agnelli family. In 2005, the building was bought by François Pinault who called upon Tadao Ando to renovate the setting in order to display his modern and contemporary art collection. Ando's intervention is delicate and done mostly with light, white marble stucco and grey linoleum. The whole is conceived to set a soft tone around the rich original decoration of the building elements.
