In 2022, the Central University Library welcomed the Feierabend Book Fund of the VAF-Stiftung Foundation. The Fund has over 16,000 volumes of Italian contemporary art that have been collected by the careful and accurate selection of the collector and founder Volker W. Feierabend.

The Foundation, chaired by Thorsten A. Feierabend, promotes and enhances Italian contemporary art through various actions: its prestigious collection of works is on deposit at the Mart in Rovereto and, every two years, it organizes a prize for young Italian art. At the same time, the Foundation publishes monographs on artists and artistic movements, including the recent series “Young artists on the threshold of the new millennium”. The series offers a first organic study on some of the most interesting artists of the new Italian scene.

In the event organized at the BUC, the curator of the Mart, Daniela Ferrari, will present in dialogue with the two artists Andrea Facco and Luca Coser, the two monographs dedicated to their work. The two volumes explore the production of the two artists, with an incursion into their pictorial practice.
