The inaugural exhibit at the Alessandro BerniGallery held at Italian Green Design Center in Chelsea presents blue chip names alongside less familiar Italian artists in a sumptuous and intimate loft of fine crafted furniture. The overall effect is like stepping into a well appointed apartment of an aesthete’s salon.

The exhibition was masterfully curated by Asya Rotella, who leveraged on her European experience and contacts to bring a new flavor to the New York art scene. Rotella’s selection has been receiving widespread accolades for her keen eye in matching Italian art’s big names, such as Maurizio Cattelan and Carla Accardi, alongside with strong international profiles, such as Vito acconci, David Hayes, Fu Wenjun, Gilbert Salinas, Jamie Martinez, Jacopo Degl’Innocenti, and Cecilia Yaghoubi.
