Antonio de Barnola, gallerist and collector

Galería Alegría invites Guillermo de Barnola to talk about the important and heterogeneous collection that his brother, the recognised gallerist Antonio de Barnola (1954-2014), accumulated over the course of his life. After his premature death, the legacy was left in the custody of his father, and this responsibility is now in his hands. With the aim of organizing and describing a not very well known side of Antonio, Guillermo is creating an archive of all the artworks, antiques and exotic objects that he collected with the passion of an insatiable collector. Accompanied by a selection of pieces that will reveal some clues about the extraordinary collection that Antonio de Barnola treasured, Tommaso Nabiuzzi will talk with our guest about the work of documenting a collection, and we will get to know the close and intimate perspective that only a brother can provide.
