Arte Fiera 2019: Simone Menegoi's First Edition Unveils Gallery List and New Participation Criteria
From February 1 to 4, 2019, the 43rd Arte Fiera, Italy's longest-running art fair, will take place, now directed by Simone Menegoi, who took over from Angela Vettese following her resignation in the summer of 2018. Menegoi's vision focuses on strengthening the fair's Italian essence while also adhering to global standards. A significant adjustment involves capping the number of artists per booth to foster curated displays: three artists for stands up to 64 sqm and six for those exceeding 72 sqm. A third of the exhibitors will feature monographic booths. The event will showcase the Main Section and 'Fotografia e immagini in movimento,' featuring prominent participants such as Galleria Continua and 17 photography galleries. Lorenzo Balbi will oversee the collateral program Art City, clarifying his position after earlier misunderstandings.
