|Beautiful new Milan venue of Fondazione Prada in which art can be shared with the public. The building at the left is plastered with real gold. The transformed distillery offers 11,000 m2 of exhibition space. Director Wes Anderson designed the bar. Mrs. Prada keeps her support of the arts separate from the famous Prada brand, so no dresses for sale here, just an affirmation of good taste. Fondazione Prada is a non-profit organisation that analyses the themes of seriality in modern art and explores the ambivalent relationship between originality and imitation in Roman culture and its insistence on the circulation of multiples as an homage to Greek art.
