DOCVA, Documentation Center for Visual Arts organized by Careof and Viafarini, offers to the public a series of services for the promotion and documentation of contemporary art.


The Library counts over 22.000 including monographic catalogs, catalogs, essays, artists books and magazines about the visual arts from after World War II to the present day.

Thanks to purchases, donations and exchange programs with museums, organizations and galleries, as well as artists who leave their documentation materials at DOCVA, the Library collection includes rare books such as exhibition catalogs, artists books and fanzines, besides the widespread publications. DOCVA keeps also the Giovanni Quadrio Curzio collection, comprising over 6.500 catalogs and literary works.

The library is organized by Careof and Viafarini. The computerized index is curated by Careof.
