Tucci Russo Studio per l'Arte Contemporanea, established in 1975 in Turin by Antonio Tucci Russo, has been a pioneering platform for Arte Povera, a modern art movement that emerged in Italy in the late 1960s. The gallery opened with a solo exhibition by Pier Paolo Calzolari, marking the beginning of its long-standing relationship with several artists from the Arte Povera group.

The gallery's history is rich with numerous shows by artists such as Giovanni Anselmo, Mario Merz, Marisa Merz, Giulio Paolini, and Giuseppe Penone. For several years, the gallery shared its exhibition spaces with the studio of Mario Merz and Marisa Merz in Turin, further cementing its close ties with the Arte Povera movement.

In addition to its focus on Arte Povera, the gallery has also showcased works by younger artists such as Remo Salvadori, Marco Bagnoli, Enzo Cucchi, and Sandro Chia between 1975 and 1980. This commitment to promoting emerging talent alongside established artists has been a defining characteristic of Tucci Russo Studio per l'Arte Contemporanea.

In 1994, the gallery moved to Torre Pellice, a small town near Turin. Here, it occupies about 1,200 square meters of exhibition space in a former textile mill, providing a unique and atmospheric backdrop for the artworks on display.

The gallery's focus has always been on the study and research of sculpture and its developments, including new trends in more recent generations of artists. This has led to collaborations with artists such as Mario Airò, Christiane Löhr, Paolo Piscitelli, Robin Rhode, and Conrad Shawcross.

In 2017, the gallery expanded its reach by opening a second venue, the Tucci Russo Chambres d'Art, in a historic building in the center of Turin. This new space allows the gallery to reach a wider audience and further its mission of promoting and showcasing the best of contemporary art.

Throughout its history, Tucci Russo Studio per l'Arte Contemporanea has held numerous exhibitions, both solo and group shows, that have contributed significantly to the understanding and appreciation of Arte Povera and contemporary art. The gallery continues to be a leading voice in the art world, championing the works of both established and emerging artists, and contributing to the global discourse on contemporary art.
