Take a look inside the artist Luca Pignatelli's Milan home and studio, here.
At a recent auction, Pignatelli stumbled upon a small drawing, depicting a classical torso and buildings set against a rocky landscape, from that exhibition. He bid on it and bought it back. Looking at one of his first works now, you can see the embryo of the artist he was to become. His current paintings are much bigger and more ambitious, but still explore themes that have preoccupied him for decades.
The neighborhood around Pignatelli’s studio is changing fast. When he moved in, it was out-of-the-way and slightly run-down. And then, in 2015, the Fondazione Prada opened its complex of old and new buildings on Largo Isarco, about a five-minute walk away. Soon after, one of the project’s architects declared that he hoped the surrounding neighborhood would stay the same. Fat chance.
