Our Visit to The Prada Foundation

Milan, March 21, 2024

In the heart of Milan, within a space where art and history intertwine with modernity, we, the founders of the 407 Art Foundation, had the pleasure of uncovering the secrets of art collection by one of the most influential families in Italy and their Prada Foundation. Our mission, focused on supporting young talents, found in this visit an invaluable source of inspiration and knowledge that we wish to share with our community and all those who aspire to discover new horizons in art.

During our stay in Milan, we paid special attention to how the Prada Foundation selects works for its collection. It struck us that alongside well-recognized names, there are also artists less known in Poland, indicating openness and a vision to look beyond the beaten path. This aligns with our philosophy of supporting artists who not only create but have more to convey – incredible stories, emotions, reflections.

At the Prada Foundation, we discovered that every piece of art chosen for their collection carries a strong and distinct story. It’s a reminder of the importance of appreciating not just the aesthetic dimension of works but, above all, their depth and the context in which they were created. Such an approach allows for a deeper understanding of art and building a collection that reflects not just taste, but values.

For us at the 407 Art Foundation, meeting with the Prada Foundation’s collection confirms that the path we have chosen to support young artists is the way of the future. It shows that there’s a demand for fresh, original voices in art that can evoke extreme emotions and thoughts. Thanks to this visit, we are now even better prepared to identify young talents for collectors worldwide, increasing their chances of being recognized in prestigious collections.

We believe that our visit to the Prada Foundation is not just an enrichment of our perspective but also a step forward in our pursuit of discovering and promoting new, promising artists. We invite young creators seeking support, mentoring, and assistance in reaching collectors to collaborate. Together, we can shape the future of art, discovering and supporting talents that will become its foundation tomorrow.

Join us on this journey. Discover, create, inspire.
