----------------------------------

The last thing you think about when planning a visit to Rome is contemporary art. And rightfully so: The Eternal City is made of over 2,500 years of art and history for you to feast your eyes on. But over recent decades, contemporary art has launched an attempt to carve its own place in a city that already claims bragging rights as home to the world’s A-listers of art and architecture—even if they are from centuries past.

Rome is in pursuit of a new trend—one that juxtaposes its most historic sites and museums and its contemporary art scene. In a push for modernity amongst tradition, the Eternal City has gone out of its way to construct a hit list of blockbuster museums and niche galleries that welcome to its ancient streets the work that’s up next—and worth traveling for.


For modern art:
At the turn of the 20th century, Italy decided to create a comprehensive, ongoing collection of Italian art to celebrate the unification of the country. What started as a collection of top pieces, schools, and genres soon became an in-depth look at the evolution of the country. Today’s Galleria Nazionale turns the tables on a traditional curation with a kinetic, non-chronological permanent exhibition where Canova statues are the backdrop to Twombly, Pascoli, and Penone.

If La Galleria catches you up on everything that happened in the art world since arcadian paintings and neoclassical sculptures, then MAXXI fast-forwards you to today. MAXXI—the Museum of Twenty-first XXI Century Arts—is an ultramodern landmark unto itself. Award-winning architect Zaha Hadid designed the museum, a beautiful cacophony of dramatic lines, exposed concrete walls, and a dazzling glass roof—fitting, as it is also the national architecture archive. For contemporary art, the permanent collection is heavy with (but not exclusive to) Italian contemporary artists, with ongoing temporary exhibits, conferences, and events.

The gallery scene in Rome is quietly growing with much thanks to Lorcan O’Neill, an Irish gallerist who opened his eponymous space in Rome in 2003. Along with him, he brought a line up of amazing international artists like Martin Creed, Tracey Emin, Kiki Smith, Jeff Wall, and Rachel Whiteread, as well as next-generation stars like Edie Peake and Gianni Politi.


For the avant-garde:
For the avant-garde and emerging, head to nearby Monitor Gallery or cross the river to Trastevere. The intersection of Via dei Vascellari and Via dei Salumi is peppered with galleries, and the standout is Sant’Andrea de Scaphis, a deconsecrated medieval church recycled as British wunderkind art dealer Gavin Brown’s Roman experiment. Brown brings incredible artists—for example, Urs Fischer, 2019 Venice Biennale winner Arthur Jafa, and Vittorio Brodman—for very particular shows which are fitting for the space: an untouched oratory of exposed brick walls and ancient marble columns.


Juggernaut Gagosian Gallery’s Rome outpost near Piazza di Spagna shows top tier, established artists like Helen Frankenthaler, Franz West, and Ed Ruscha in its beautiful oval gallery space. It’s worth a glimpse. Likewise, look into the very beautiful Galleria del Cembalo, a wonderful juxtaposition of contemporary art and photography under 17th-century frescoed ceilings in the historic Palazzo Borghese.

Finally, keep an eye on the foundation scene for unpredictable and beguiling shows—for example, Rhinoceros – Fondazione Alda Fendi Esperimenti, cutting edge performances with a ground-level gallery space near the Roman Forum; Fondazione Giuliani, a private collection in Testaccio; and Fondazione Volume!, an avant-garde art space in Trastevere.
