The second edition of the Art Gallery Fair, arte BA ’92, counted upon the presence of fifty-five galleries, with twelve of them being international participants.
An important part of the organization of the Fair is the opportunity of the general public to gain access to the art market. The different forms of expression used by plastic artists (sculpture, oil painting, pastels, aquarelle, collage, drawing, engraving, objects, etc.) and their differing levels of recognition (respected, recognized and emerging) present different investment possibilities, with a great variety in price. This allowed people that are not accustomed to visiting galleries to see fifty or more in a single visit, and to purchase according to their respective budgets (the artists once again being favoured).
The other aspect taken into account in arte BA ‘92, which is not in any way less important, is the globalization of Latin American art. The presence of foreign galleries, almost 20% of the total this year, allowed art dealers from other parts of the world to have contact with our painting and our public.
