ARCOmadrid
22-26 февраля 2017
Feria de Madrid, Av. Del Partenón, 5, 28042 Madrid, Spain

What should the most attended art fair in the world look like? Did you imagine it? Then pay attention to ARCOmadrid, which annually discovers new names and trends in the vivid works of designers and artists. In recent years, the unusual program collects 200,000-people audience with its modern, experimental and avant-garde ideas!
The Madrid international Fair isn't able to compete with ART BASEL or FIAC, but it has a completely different purpose. ARCOmadrid is an opportunity not only to see what shocks you but also to realize what is really valuable. This is the original and unpredictable what art dealers from all over the worlds come in Madrid for.
The first time, on February 10, 1982, ARCOmadrid took place on the initiative of IFEMA, the organizer of the Spanish fairs and congresses, having finished once and for all time with the cultural stagnation in Spain, which developed during the Franco dictatorship. Much has changed since then, and once the secondary art- screening has turned into a large-scale forum of masters of their business, which has to be attended at least once.

During the exhibition in the Museum of Modern Art there is the Armory Party, and the music is not lagging!

TEFAF
10-19 марта 2017
Forum 100, 5268 HD Maastricht, Netherlands

Being incredible in ambitions of the organizers, cost of efforts on the part of gallery dealers, and the level of work, TEFAF is absolutely incompatible! Elegant presentation, decoration, refinement, and entertainment at the Maastricht Fair will impress even a hardcore snob.
Twenty-nine commissions, consisting of 175 experts in the field of art, have been engaged to determine the authenticity of the exhibits. By the way, most of the collections are represented by a temporary period from XIII to XIX century.
TEFAF has confidently secured the reputation of a must-see event in an antique environment, leaving indifferent none of the beauty lovers.
Outstanding and impressive, these are the most appropriate epithets to describe the most spectacular and pretentious art fair of the Old World.

Frieze New York: 5-8 мая 2016

Fiac!
22-23 октября
Grand Palais, Avenue du Général Eisenhower, 75008 Paris, France

Every autumn since 1974, modern art leases Paris arranging large-scale art- integration. Thus, the program "Outside the Walls" fills the Vendome Square, the embankment of the Seine, parks, and gardens with installations and sculptures. At this time, even an ordinary walk becomes an unforgettable art trip!
Theatrical performances, performances, parties, dinners, closed visits activate all the Parisian Bohemias, and the largest public and private museums and foundations diligently prepare their exhibitions for the arrival of collectors from all over the world. Due to this scale of cultural events, the city on the Seine attracts people from different parts of the world.
All this is eloquently reflected on the artistic weight of the fair and its impact on the art market. As the dealers themselves admit, Foire Internationale d'art contemporain is still the most important event devoted to modern art and modernism.
Though the main French fair has focused on "rejuvenation" of exhibited exhibits, the classics of the XX century still provide the main income.
