Gagosian to Present New Paintings by Bea Scaccia in New York

Magazzino Italian Art was pleased to recognize artist Beatrice Scaccia for her participation in Homemade, the museum’s first on-site exhibition of contemporary art, presented in 2020.

Part of a group of eight New York-based Italian artists, Scaccia contributed work created during the global quarantine, exploring new approaches, materials, and ideas in response to an unprecedented moment. The exhibition brought together the results of a two-month creative process, highlighting the artists’ ability to adapt, experiment, and continue creating through a time of uncertainty.

We are grateful to have been part of this meaningful chapter in Beatrice Scaccia’s artistic journey.
