isisuf

ISISUF – Istituto Internazionale di Studi sul Futurismo (International Institute of Futurist Studies) was founded in Milan in 1960 by artists such as Acquaviva, Andreoni, Belloli, Bruschetti, Crali, Diulgeroff, Masnata, Mazza, and Munari.

 

It is an international organization that, without forgetting its roots, anticipates and follows the main micro-movements in contemporary art.

 

For more than sixty years, Isisuf has pursued its original mission of valorizing the 20th-century avant-garde, focusing on the documentation of movements such as Futurism, Programmed and Kinetic Art, and Visual and Concrete Poetry.

 

Today, the Institute is no longer just a reflection of its collection and the promoting entity of an archive, but redefines its mission to include the valorization of art as a catalyst for experimentation and the development of neo-avant-gardes.

 

The Institute’s collection includes works ranging from Futurism to all the major protagonists of twentieth-century art. Artists in the collection include Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni, Sonia and Robert Delaunay, Fortunato Depero, Nicolaj Diulgeroff, Pavel Mansurov, Mario Radice, Atanasio Soldati, Victor Vasarely, and Georges Vantongerloo.

 

Isisuf also manages the personal archives of artists Mary Vieira, Carlo Belloli, and Ada Ardessi, in addition to other collectors outside the Institute itself.
