Street artists, writers, tattoo artists, and urban scene photographers—the Department of Pop Culture, Underground, and Ultra-Contemporary Art gives voice to the creative expressions of youth countercultures and explores the most innovative trends in 21st-century art.
The department, which specializes in pop culture and underground art auctions, documents both historical movements that have profoundly shaped the collective imagination in the late 20th century and contemporary art, deeply tied to the immediacy that defines today's artistic scene.
Particular attention is given to contamination, interdisciplinarity, and transdisciplinarity in ultra-contemporary art, where visual arts intertwine with design, fashion, music, and other cultural forms. This cross-pollination between different disciplines drives and guides today's art, just as it was a defining strength of historical avant-garde movements that blended diverse languages and expressive forms in the 20th century. Empowered by the internet and the global network, which enables the worldwide sharing of ideas like never before, the interaction between various artistic disciplines and movements has given rise to a hybrid art form—deeply rooted in contemporary culture and capable of reflecting the evolution of youth movements and their impact on aesthetics and society.
Street art, graffiti, graphic design, tattoo art, and urban photography—disciplines that have established themselves as full-fledged art forms—are promoted, evaluated, and placed on the Italian and international markets by the team of the Department of Pop Culture, Underground, and Ultra-Contemporary Art, working in close collaboration with artists.
The department curates auctions to present these works to the public, while higher-value pieces are handled through private sales, ensuring a confidential and personalized negotiation process.
