Tonight marks Zegna's celebration of VISIBLE in Art Basel, a project by Fondazione Ermenegildo Zegna and Cittadellarte - Fondazione Pistoletto ONLUS. An international production fellowship originating from the visionary idea of the artist Michelangelo Pistoletto, VISIBLE researches and supports artworks in the social sphere. Its activation during Art Basel underscores ZEGNA’s commitment to global arts, cultural heritage, and cutting-edge commissions.ZEGNA advances the arts through commissions by artists who create works focused on the brand’s values. In its Milan headquarters, art weaves the story of ZEGNA’s success, identity, and heritage; “Woolen—The Reinstate Apple” by Michelangelo Pistoletto references the authenticity of ZEGNA’s partners and the sustainability of its wool. In recent years site-specific commissions by contemporary artists like Daniel Buren, Dan Graham, and Roman Signer have enriched the wool mill and the surrounding Oasi Zegna with new permanent public works of art. Globally, ZEGNA has commissioned artists, including Graham Sutherland, Not Vital, and Kiki Smith, to create wool trophies—a nod to Zegna’s commitment to sourcing the highest quality wool and its beginning as a textile company in 1910.Image: Michelangelo Pistoletto, “Woolen—The Reinstate Apple," 2007.
