Labs Gallery
A contemporary art gallery specializing in European and international avant-gardes from the 1950s to the 1980s, with a focus on conceptual photography, kinetic art, and Italian street art.

The gallery presents a carefully assembled collection of works spanning conceptual photography, kinetic and programmed art, Gruppo Zero, Nul, Arte Povera, and analytical painting, alongside contemporary and street art practices.
History
Founded on the shared passion of its two proprietors, Labs Gallery developed through continuous investigation and rigorous scholarship of European and international avant-garde movements. The gallery’s twenty-year journey reflects a sustained commitment to deepening understanding of postwar artistic innovation.

The gallery presents rotating exhibitions drawn from its refined collection. Works span from the experimental photographic practices of the Conceptual movement to the dynamic installations of Kinetic art, alongside historical pieces from Arte Povera and contemporary interventions in street art and international practices.
Cultural significance
