Welcome to another issue of Wall Power’s exclusive Inner Circle
private email, where we get very granular, and personal, about what matters to art world professionals and collectors. Tonight, I’m sharing my candid conversation with Rome-based private dealer Mattia De Luca.
Almost everyone in the art world got into this game because of the art. You might buy, sell, auction, advise, insure, finance, provide legal services for,
ship, store, catalog, or conserve art for a living. But first, you’d found something ineffable and compelling about art that kept you coming back.
De Luca is no different. His childhood passion for Giorgio Morandi led him to private dealing, and gave him a project to focus on during the pandemic. The result was two

Some 10,000 visitors attended Time Suspended, part II, private dealer
Mattia De Luca’s show of Giorgio Morandi’s work, in a townhouse on the Upper East Side last fall. That show was the result of De Luca’s lifelong fascination with the Italian painter and printmaker, and built upon his earlier show Time Suspended, held in Rome in 2022. Morandi is a connoisseur’s artist. David Rockefeller had one that sold
for $4.3 million, an auction record. But Morandi was equally beloved by artists as diverse as Robert Rauschenberg, Robert Ryman, and Peter Doig. Earlier this week, Mattia and I spoke about putting those shows together, and the enduring appeal of an artist who made an entire universe out of...
