Milan, presented the 24th edition of miart, between confirmations and novelties

The 24th edition of miart, an international modern and contemporary art fair, will kick off April 5-7 in Hall 3 of fieramilanocity in Milan.The event, which will be under the artistic direction of Alessandro Rabottini, was presented yesterday at Palazzo Marino. There will be 186 galleries from 19 countries around the world exhibiting works by modern masters, established and emerging contemporary artists, and established and experimental designers. Through its seven sections, miart confirms the formula that has made it over the years the fair in Italy with the broadest chronological offering, thus evoking the combination of history and experimentation that resides in Milan’s DNA. The internationality that in recent years has made the Lombard capital an inclusive capital finds expression in the dialogue between history and the present that characterizes the miart project. With the 2019 edition, miart intends to consolidate its path of growth by combining the solidity of market aspects with an aptitude for research, and expanding its format into a platform for observing society and its changes.
