Opened in Rome in 2010, Spazio Nuovo has rapidly become well known among collectors of contemporary art. In a city known for its abundance of antique artistic treasures, Guillaume Maitre and Paulo Pérez Mouriz— the founders of Spazio Nuovo— wish to give contemporary artists a special place where their innovative research is supported.
The gallery focuses on emerging and established contemporary artists, paying particular attention to photography. Centrally located near the Pantheon and Piazza Navona, in a neighbourhood of artisans’ ateliers, Spazio Nuovo contributes to Rome’s burgeoning contemporary art scene following the opening of MAXXI (Museo Nazionale delle Arti del XXI Secolo) and MACRO (Museo d’Arte Contemporanea – Roma).
