The building, designed by architects Carlo Bassi and Goffredo Boschetti, opened in 1959, today houses the works of the greatest Italian artists of the nineteenth century such as Canova, Fontanesi, Fattori, Medardo Rosso, Pellizza da Volpedo and the twentieth century including Balla, Boccioni, Casorati, Modigliani, De Chirico, Martini, Morandi, De Pisis and Fontana.

The Museum is constantly evolving and in order to maintain the quality of its cultural offering it needs the help of a prestigious supporter. Together with Suzuki, the Museum will continue its commitment to modern and contemporary research. Auction proceeds will be donated entirely to GAM to maintain and invest in programs and heritage conservation activities.
