Statements

“The objective is to further improve on last year’s excellent result, that is, an edition of true excellence with National and International Galleries of great luster and prestige; the quality and value of the works on display is further guaranteed and certified by the Vetting Committee, composed of internationally accredited Art Historians who examine all exhibits before the opening of the show,” explains Marco Momoli, CEO of ModenaFiere. “Modenantiquaria, sponsored by Associazione Antiquari d’Italia and FIMA, is the benchmark event for those seeking excellence in High Antiques; a unique crossroads where collectors, enthusiasts and art dealers meet in search of precious masterpieces. The Exhibition, now in its XXXVIII edition, is the perfect blend of art, passion and business as well as an exemplary showcase for the most illustrious galleries in the sector, which often display works that are also previously unseen.”
“One of the exhibition’s pivotal elements is to give buyers peace of mind,” Momoli concludes, “about the quality and authenticity of the works on display. Every single piece, already selected by the prestigious participating Galleries, is then examined and judged by an authoritative Commission of art historians and internationally accredited specialists.”

“To paraphrase a famous phrase by Italo Calvino, an antique never finishes saying what it has to say,” adds Pietro Cantore, President of Antiquari Modenesi and Vice President of the Associazione Antiquari d’Italia as well as Art Director of Modenantiquaria. “One of the questions I am often asked is why such an important antiques show has taken root in Modena,” he concludes. “I have asked myself this many times, and the only plausible answer lies in the strength of the province. Modenantiquaria is an exhibition that lives with and for the city; the same strength and philosophy as TEFAF Maastricht or Art Basel in Basel.”

Simultaneously with the XXXVIII Edition of Modenantiquaria, the IV Edition of Sculptura. Italian Masterpieces from the 13th to the 20th Century and the XXXI Edition of Petra. Projects and Landscapes between Classic and Contemporary.

Modenantiquaria is open to the public Monday through Wednesday from 3 to 7 p.m.; Thursday through Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.
