NEW YORK, Sept. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Artisti per Frescobaldi (Artists for Frescobaldi) project is the fruit of a natural evolution of what the Frescobaldi family have been able to achieve through their interest and passion for art for over 30 generations. That commitment has been a shared hallmark of other ancient noble families as well, who from the Renaissance forward guided Italy's artistic and cultural life, in Florence in particular, as patrons, commissioners of art, and collectors. That participation in the artistic world and support of artists remains today vitally important to the Frescobaldi Family.

Artists Gian Maria Tosatti, Erica Mahinay, and Andrew Dadson were invited to this year's fifth edition of the project. Their creativity centres on the CastelGiocondo estate and their artworks interpret that terroir: Gian Maria Tosatti's Cattività; Erica Mahinay's Test Site and Andrew Dadson's Ginestra (Cysisus scoparius) Violet and Rye-Grass (Festuca perennis) Blue.
Their pieces were judged by a prestigious jury composed of Patrizia Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, President of the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo; Ralph Rugoff, Director of the Hayward Gallery of London; and Rina Carvajal, Director and Curator of the Museum of Art and Design, Miami Dade College. These eminent judges jointly selected and announced the winning artist, Gian Maria Tosatti.

The Artisti per Frescobaldi initiative, started in 2013 under the direction of Tiziana Frescobaldi and art curator Ludovico Pratesi, both continues a venerable Florentine tradition and opens a new chapter in the close relationship with art in which the Frescobaldi family have always taken pride, thanks to the Premio di Arte Contemporanea (Contemporary Art Prize) that made possible the unique collection installed at the CastelGiocondo wine estate in Montalcino. The prize encourages artists of the younger generations, whose novel expressive languages embody their own need to understand the complexity of the present world, its dramas and restlessness, very much analogous to the great artists of the past and to the manner in which our ancestors related to them.

"We are truly excited to at last announce the winner of this 5th edition and to unveil the works of the three competing artists," stated Tiziana Frescobaldi, Artistic Director and President of the Compagnia de' Frescobaldi. "These works now grace our CastelGiocondo estate, joining the 12 others from the previous editions, where they can engage in an intriguing and deliberate dialogue with their surroundings. These now 15 installations work together and reinforce each other, enriching the spaces of our estate and wine cellar through a marriage between wine and art that is exerting increasing impact and enjoying widespread success.

"My gratitude goes to Ludovico Pratesi, who right from the very beginning has lent us his great expertise and passion throughout the adventure of the Prize; to Olimpia Eberspacher, for her organising genius and dedication; and, of course, to all the artists whose works are today so splendidly integrated into this estate and carry out their felicitous dialogue in such harmonious syntony with CastelGiocondo."

The Prize, which is awarded biennially but late for this edition due to the Covid situation, is awarded to three international artists, who are nominated each year by Ludovico Pratesi. Two artists represent different countries, in rotation, while the third is from Italy. They all visit the CastelGiocondo estate in Montalcino, and are then free to select their own appropriate artistic medium or language to express their personal interpretation of the estate, conveying some aspect of its history, its terroir, or the world of wine in its broadest sense. That creative expression takes shape in a site-specific installation and in a sketch for a label for a limited edition of CastelGiocondo Brunello di Montalcino.

"The objective of the Artisti per Frescobaldi project is to commission from artists of the younger generations artworks inspired by the Frescobaldi family wine estates, and more in general, by the world and culture in Italy," explained Ludovico Pratesi, Curator of Artisti per Frescobaldi. "The Artistic Director and the Curator select artists based on these criteria, nominating those who have succeeded as well over the years, utilising various media and expressive languages, in respecting the genius loci of particular areas, what Marc Augé refers to as anthropological places."

The inaugural edition, in 2013, involved three Italian artists, Elisa Sighicelli, Ra di Martino, and Giovanni Ozzola, followed in the next edition by two German artists, Michael Sailstorfer and Jorinde Voight, and Italian Yuri Ancarani. The third edition spotlighted two Americans, Eric Wesley and Matthew Brannon, together with Patrizio Di Massimo, while Swiss Claudia Comte and Sonia Kacem were featured in the fourth, along with Francesco Arena.
The current fifth edition showcases North Americans Andrew Dadson (Canada) and Erica Mahinay (USA, along with Italy's Gian Maria Tosatti. Their projects, which offer different approaches and starting points, are nevertheless mutually the fruit of passionate, intensely-evocative visions of CastelGiocondo.

Edition V of the Artisti per Frescobaldi Prize

Artisti per Frescobaldi is addressed to artists of the younger generations, who are the interpreters of a contemporary universe that is often bewilderingly complex and in a constantly protean transformation. The Frescobaldi family, wine producers for over 800 years, have always been sensitive to the diverse tendencies in 21st century contemporary art and personally and professionally close to its representative artists. The Prize is the latest chapter in the Frescobaldis' venerable tradition of art patronage, now with new artists and novel artistic languages. The first edition in 2012 comprised three Italians, Elisa Sighicelli, Giovanni Ozzola, and Ra Di Martino, then the second in Berlin in 2014 invited Michael Sailstorfer, Jorinde Voigt, and Yuri Ancarani. The United States entered in 2016 with Wesley, Mattew Brannon, and Patrizio Di Massimo, while Sonia Kacem, Claudia Comte, and Francesco Arena participated in the fourth edition, dedicated to Switzerland.

All 12 of their works are at the CastelGiocondo estate, where they engage in an intriguing and deliberate dialogue with their surroundings. The collection continues to grow, enriching the spaces of the estate and wine cellar through a marriage between wine and art that is exerting increasing impact and enjoying widespread success.
