The third edition of the Art Gallery Fair – arteBA ’94, took place in renewed ambiance and surroundings. The Centro Cultural Recoleta opened its doors, displaying for the first time new extensions and installations. In a similar way, the surroundings have changed also: Buenos Aires Design provides this area with a particular beauty, acting as a unifying axis between the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes on one side, home of the respected masters, and the Centro Cultural Recoleta on the other side, a haven for new tendencies in art. arteBA allowed the most diverse artistic expressions, both local and foreign, to gather in this cultural circuit, to which we can add the Palais de Glace and the Museo Nacional de Arte Decorativo.
Each year the arteBA Foundation commits itself to inviting a living foreign artist with international recognition. This new edition of the Fair, counted upon the presence of Italian Valerio Adami as the invited artist, in this way offering the public the possibility of acquainting themselves with his development as an artist and his work.
ArteBA ‘94 saw a strong international presence: the Thomas R Monahan, Linda Moore, CDS, Astrolabe and Imperfect Utopia galleries from the United Status, the Sala del Arte Contemporáneo from Ecuador, Alcolea, Fandos and Van Art from Spain; Sur y De la Matriz from Uruguay, had all partaken in the development of the Fair with great enthusiasm.
