M77 opened in 2014 with the purpose to make room for new ideas in Milan’s contemporary art scene. Offering its 1000 m2 space as a platform for dialogue and a place for ambitious projects, M77 hosts exhibitions with a strong site-specific approach and curatorial vision.
The core mission of the gallery is to foster a reputable and varied roster of artists by bringing their ideas and vision to fruition and establish itself exponentially as a cultural epicenter. M77 strives to expand its International presence through its participation in the best art fairs world-wide.
Gradually over the last five years, the gallery has embarked and expanded on a clear exhibition program focused on very personal declinations of the conceptual attitude, often preferring to shed light on underrepresented mid-career international artists and on the more experimental, less known aspects of the production of renowned Post-War Italian Masters.
M77 currently represents Emilio Isgrò, Nino Migliori, Grazia Varisco, Braco Dimitrijević, the Estate of Maria Lai, Avish Khebrehzadeh, Kendell Geers, Alberto Biasi, the Estate of Valentino Vago, Charlotte Perriand, Kaarina Kaikkonen the Estate of Tano Festa, the Estate of Alessandro Mendini, Mat Collishaw and the Estate of Tino Stefanoni.
Among the gallery’s recent successes we proudly recall: Alberto Biasi’s solo exhibition, The Visibility of the Invisible, a monumental exhibition focused on Biasi’s pioneering environments of the 1960s and 1970s; Kendell Geers’ installation Hanging Piece (1993), part of the solo exhibition OrnAmenTu’EtKriMen, for which more than 500 bricks were hung to create an immersive experience of great impact and also enriched by a mirrored floor; finally, our debut at Art Basel | Unlimited with an extraordinary installation by the Bosnian conceptual artist Braco Dimitrijević, and at Art Basel in the Feature sector, with a stand curated with exceptional historical pieces by the Sardinian artist Maria Lai. In 2023 Lai was also the protagonist of one of our highly celebrated monographic booths at the prestigious London fair Frieze Masters.
