Bio

Federico Hausammann is an influential Italian gallery owner, deeply rooted in his family's tradition, who has contributed significantly to the modern and contemporary art scene both in Italy and internationally.
  • Born in Italy, Federico comes from a family with a long history in the art world. His grandfather, Renato Hausammann, founded the Hausammann Gallery in 1961 in Cortina d'Ampezzo, one of the most prestigious alpine resorts and frequented by the cultural and social elites of the country. The Hausammann Gallery, under the guidance of Renato and later Federico's father, has established itself as a point of reference for modern and contemporary art in Italy, promoting prominent artists and contributing to the spread of art in a period of great cultural ferment. The gallery has housed works by world-renowned artists and has played a crucial role in enhancing modern art, both through exhibitions and through the trade of works of art.
  • Federico inherited the management of the gallery and continued to carry on the family legacy, while demonstrating a great ability to adapt to new trends in the art market. His vision led the gallery to expand beyond Italy's borders, with the opening of a new location in Miami, in the Wynwood Art District. This area is known for its vibrant movement of graffiti and street art, representing a significant change from the historic location in Cortina. This expansion reflects Federico's willingness to explore new artistic horizons and to adapt to the dynamics of an ever-evolving art market.
  • Under Federico's leadership, the Hausammann Gallery in Miami has become an international hub for contemporary art, hosting exhibitions that attract globally renowned artists and an international audience. The gallery stood out for its ability to combine the traditional with the innovative, embracing new forms of artistic expression such as crypto art and NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens). These developments demonstrate Federico's ability to recognize and enhance new trends, while maintaining a strong link with tradition.
  • In addition to his activity as a gallery owner, Federico has been involved in a number of major artistic projects. Among them, stands out In Venice, the POW!WOW! mural festival. POW!WOW! is an event that has transformed some industrial areas of the city into open-air museums, bringing art directly to the streets and involving the local community. This type of initiative underlines Federico's commitment to making art accessible and promoting interaction between artists and the public. Federico Hausammann is therefore a key figure in the contemporary art scene, recognized for his ability to innovate while maintaining a deep respect for the artistic tradition. Its influence extends beyond the simple trade of works of art, involving the curation of events and projects that have a significant impact on the dissemination and enhancement of contemporary art. His career is an example of how family tradition can be combined with innovation to create new opportunities in the art world.
