Hormazd Narielwalla. The Marvellous

Artvisor and Bianca Arte are pleased to present The Marvellous, a solo exhibition of Hormazd Narielwalla at Buccellati’s Mayfair private rooms from 14 October to 14 November 2025.

The 61st Venice Biennale & Collateral Events Highlights

The following selection highlights some of the most compelling presentations and cultural moments...

Rome-Tehran: Parallel Avantgardes

In collaboration with Ab-Anbar gallery, Artvisor is pleased to present Rome–Tehran: Parallel Avantgardes, opening on June 4th, an exhibition tracing the artistic dialogues and resonances that emerged between Italy and Iran from the 1950s to the 1970s.  In a brief moment between the 1953 coup and the 1979 revolution in Iran, dialogues and exchanges between Italy and Iran heightened. The exchanges were driven by institutional infrastructures: academies of fine arts in Rome, Florence, and Venice; international exhibitions such as the Venice Biennale; and transnational networks of galleries, critics, and patrons. Despite their different trajectories, one marked by the aftermath of...
