UBS’s Don’t Shoot the Painter and EmptyGAMilano

Two women in an art gallery in Milan

There is nothing quite like GAM, Milan’s Gallery of Modern Art.  The neoclassical Villa Reale is an incredible backdrop for art from any era, and even better when contrasting the very modern with Milan days of yore.  On September 28, 2015, I hosted #EmptyGAMilano to coincide with the closing of the UBS exhibitionDon’t Shoot the Painter – 110 paintings shown together from the bank’s vast corporate collections.  Joining me were Instagram’s Kristin Watts, Tamu McPherson of All the Pretty Birds, Collater.al, AndyKate and many more.
