Artissima 2023 Celebrates 30th Edition with 181 Galleries and New Prize
Artissima, Italy’s premier contemporary art fair, is marking its 30th year from November 3 to 5 at Oval Lingotto in Turin. This year, it features 181 galleries representing 33 countries, including 68 solo exhibitions and nearly 40 newcomers. The theme, "Relations of Care," is inspired by Brazilian anthropologist Renzo Taddei. A fresh highlight is the Premio Pista 500, awarded by Pinacoteca Agnelli, which grants a commission for a billboard on the historic Fiat rooftop racetrack. The fair, managed by Fondazione Torino Musei under Luigi Fassi, includes curated sections like Disegni and Present Future. Notable Dubai galleries showcase works by Mona Saudi and Baya Mahieddine, while satellite exhibitions feature artists like Khalil Rabah and Paulina Olowska across the city.
