Marco Goldin stops his exhibitions. Colossal losses from Covid closures, few refreshments

Curator-entrepreneur Marco Goldin, patron of Linea d’Ombra, the company that organizes major exhibitions every year in museums in northern Italy, especially in the Veneto region, has decided to indefinitely halt the creation of new exhibitions. He announced this in an interview with Veneto’s Gedi newspapers.

“Shadow Line, at least for now, will no longer make exhibitions due to colossal losses caused by long closures for Covid.” After the last exhibition, From the Romantics to Segantini held at the Altinate-San Gaetano Cultural Center in Padua, there will therefore be no more exhibition events. “Contrary to other exhibitions in the sector that have been catered with multimillion-dollar sums for the simple drop in turnover,” Goldin added, “Linea d’ombra has obtained, moreover after having opened a dispute on the matter with the Ministry, infinitely lower refreshment, and among other things not for the drop in turnover but for a real, certified loss. This is because in the year taken as a reference [2019, ed.] Linea d’Ombra had suspended its exhibition activity for twelve months to devote itself to the preparation of the 2019-2022 exhibitions.”

However, Goldin will continue his commitment to his other publishing activities: in the works is, among other things, a novel dedicated to Vincent van Gogh.
