“Ever since I can remember, I have been interested in nostalgic objects and I want to find out all about their provenance and their application.“
Each of the objects included in the Collezione Endrizzi is embedded in a long history. Almost daily, Ivan Endrizzi receives offers from collectors and dealers who are hoping to arouse the interest of experts with old enamel advertising signs, neon signs, promotional posters and other rare gems.
“I can tell immediately whether an old masterpiece is suitable for rupturing a conceptual space and creating something unique through this rupture as an inimitable eyecatcher. Even if the age, the rarity and the condition of an object determine the price, the value of a collectable for me is primarily situated in its colourful splendour and in its powerful message that remains relevant today. I only engage more intimately with a piece when I experience this physical affinity.“
The selection, the sure eye for nostalgic objects that will develop their attraction is the key factor in the work of Endrizzi.
