Lucca Art Fair: New Tuscany fair with experimental section and talks
The Lucca Art Fair, a fresh platform for contemporary and modern art, is set to launch from May 6 to May 9 at the Polo Fiere e Congressi di Lucca in Tuscany. Initiated by Paolo Batoni, who leads the cultural association Blob ART, the fair seeks to reestablish Tuscany as a center for art and to revitalize the art scene in central Italy. It will showcase nearly forty galleries from Italy, including renowned establishments, alongside a Temporary Art Zone (T.A.Z.) featuring experimental spaces like Doppelgaenger and Rizzuto Gallery. Angel Moya Garcia, the Co-Director for Visual Arts at Dello Scompiglio, advises T.A.Z. The event will also include discussions on the weekend with prominent figures such as Irene Sanesi and Sergio Risaliti.
