Artists and Art in Bologna
The art of Bologna has names you can check in any history of art: Giorgio Morandi, Guido Reni, Annibale Carracci, Blu (street artist). That is where to start, because their work sits in public collections and can be seen.

Cityscapes & Architecture
Stone, light and architecture
Bologna is read in its façades and squares. For anyone who loves that geometry, a selection from ArtMarket's “Cityscapes & Architecture”, “Black & White” and “Landscapes & Nature” collections.
Where that legacy is visible
In Bologna the reference points are MAMbo, Pinacoteca Nazionale di Bologna, Museo Morandi, Mast. A public collection is also the cheapest way to train your eye: before buying, looking a lot is the investment that pays best.
How you actually find a contemporary artist
Broadly there are three routes: art academies and their graduation shows, art fairs, and platforms selling directly online. None of them needs a large budget, and all three let you see the work before committing.
Fine-art photography
Hand-signed photographic prints, ready to frame.
What to look for in an artist you do not know
Not the name — the consistency. A body of work that holds together tells you more than one good image. Then the stated technique, the format and the edition size. An author early in their career who works seriously always documents those three.
The artists we carry
Our catalogue holds art photography, painting and mixed media, priced 65–295 €. They are not artists from Bologna and we do not claim they are: they are authors whose technique, format, price and signature we can state.
