Founded in 1995 by the contemporary art collector Patrizia Sandretto Re Rebaudengo and directed by Francesco Bonami, the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo set up its first gallery in 1997. History was made in the following years with some of today's hottest international artists passing through to make up a rich exhibition programme as well as the last five editions of the art prize Premio Regione Piemonte, featuring the likes of Doug Aitken, Vanessa Beecroft, Maurizio Cattelan and Shirin Neshat. The Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo has since produced a range of exhibitions including L.A. Times in 1998; Sogni/Dreams in 1999; Identidades Futuras: Reflejos de una Coleccion for ARCO Mardid in 2002; New Ocean by Doug Aitken in 2003; How latitudes become Forms: Art in a Global age in 2003; Carol Rama and Non Toccare la Donna Bianca in 2004 - as well as presenting a host of exhibitions that have come from co-projects with other international art institutions such as the Hara Museum in Tokyo, the Serpentine Gallery in London, the Walker Art Centre in Minneapolis and the Baltic Mill in Gateshead etc.
