Archivio Conz

Info

Archivo Conz houses artworks, documents, editions and personal belongings collected and catalysed by Francesco Conz (Cittadella, 1935–Verona, 2010).

"The collection at Archivio Conz is unique worldwide, both in its scope and in its orientation. Bringing together Lettrism, Concrete Poetry, and Fluxus, the 4,000 work collection includes artworks, literature, documents, ephemera and editions catalysed by the Italian publisher and collector Francesco Conz. Over the course of over 30 years, many of these works are a result of collaborations and commissions directly from the artists, many of whom were also friends of Conz's. As a "living archive," Archivio Conz takes on the task of protecting the meaning of art from the fixation of purpose, in an effort to add the work of art to a different constellation of questions."
