Luciano Benetton's foray into art, with Imago Mundi, is a project that includes over 200 paintings by contemporary Indian artists, now on exhibit as part of the Venice Biennale
When Italian entrepreneur and fashion guru Luciano Benetton veered his focus from fashion to contemporary art, the result was Imago Mundi, an art project that contains over 1,000 paintings, from artists in Australia, India, Japan, South Korea, and the United States. The exhibition, currently on display at Venice’s Querini Stampalia Foundation is part of the Venice Biennale, (a major contemporary art exhibition that takes place once every two years in Venice)
and features over 200 paintings by Indian artists.
