Vicente Todolí is the founder and President of Todolí Citrus Fundació. A benchmark in contemporary art, a prestigious curator who has gone from the artistic direction of some of the world’s greatest museums, such as the Tate Modern Gallery, to cultivating more than 500 varieties of citrus fruit in Palmera, his home town. A man of renaissance spirit, vocationally curious, he researches and documents everything that stirs his emotions, be it art or the land.
Quisiera crear un jardín (y verlo crecer) is a very personal reflection on the circumstances and issues that capture his attention and shape both his life and professional career: from Valencia to New York, Porto, London or Milan, discovering artists and organising exhibitions, to return to the fields by the Mediterranean and recover his roots, literally, by discovering the art of cultivating olive and citrus trees.
Quick and accurate analyses of art, museums or the artists themselves, curious, biographical narratives, full of life. And his return home to reconstruct the memory of his family and contribute to reconstructing the genesis of the Valencian territory. There he has created the private orchard with the largest number of citrus varieties planted on earth.
