Miart, the fair of contemporary art in Milano
This year marks the 20th edition. All is ready for Miart 2015, the international fair of modern and contemporary art in Milan, from April 9 to 12, organized by Fiera Milano and directed by Vincenzo de Bellis for the third consecutive year. The pavilions of fieramilanocity will welcome 154 international galleries representing the best of modern and contemporary art and limited-edition design from all over the world. The number of galleries participating this year at the fair in Milan has grown again, with a further increase in foreign exhibitors over the last editions: this year there are 72 international galleries —46% of the total—with an outstanding number of galleries from the United States (25) and the United Kingdom (23)—bearing witness to the foreign market’s stronger perception of Miart.
Once again, there will be four sections at this 20th edition: Established, with 105 exhibitors—subdivided into the sections Master, for galleries showing work by historically established artists; Contemporary, for galleries specializing in contemporary work; and First Step, a new sub-section for galleries already recognized on a national and international level, participating at miart for the first or second time.
This year Miart presents I’m Art, the TV series co-produced by Miart and SKY Arte HD created on the occasion of Miart 2015. For the first time the thematic channel of the Sky platform cooperates, in terms of editorial content, with an art fair to create a brand new television format, which will be broadcasted every day from the 2nd to the 12th of April. The program follows the historical path of Italian art from the 60s up to the latest generations of artists. Created for neophytes and specialized, I’m Art is an innovative instrument to connect the general public with the world of art.
