Studio Guenzani proposes different artists, for the formal quality of the work, as well for their national and generational proveniences.
In 1988 Louise  Lawler’s and Cindy Sherman’s  first exhibitions in the gallery have affirmed the interest of the gallery for photography (other exhibitions of Louise Lawler in 1994 and 2001, of Cindy Sherman in 1991 and 2001) they were followed by exhibitions of Hiroshi Sugimoto (1994 and 1999), Nobuyoshi Araki (1997 and 1999), Morimura (1998 and 2002), SharonLockhart  (1998), Dayanita Singh (1999).
