Lia Rumma with her husband Marcello, began to collect works of art in the 1960s. After the death of her husband in 1971, Rumma opened an art gallery, beginning with an exhibition of works by Joseph Kosuth. Since 1999, the gallery has had a permanent base in Milan. In 2004, Lia Rumma curated Anselm Kiefer’s permanent installation I Sette Palazzi Celesti (“The Seven Heavenly Palaces”) at the Hangar Bicocca.
