19 CONTEMPORARY ART FAIR . BICENTENNIAL EDITION
arteBA2005

The 14th edition of arteBA Feria de Arte Contemporáneo – Contemporary Art Fair, which ended last Wednesday, is to be noted down in the fruitful history of this fair as one exhibiting a sign on continuity and change. We say continuity because of the large number of visitors: 85,000 people, who acknowledged the event as a luring invitation to a fully consecrated Argentine and Latin American art fair. We say change since a good number of meaningful innovations were added to those traditional proposals that helped make up the fair’s profile throughout the years.

Those art galleries which, from the very beginning, have accompanied the growth of this fair, this year made their bet exhibiting excellent works and a great variety in their proposals –a fact that granted the general quality of the fair and awakened the interests of many local and foreign purchasers. For the great majority of those galleries, this fair’s edition meant good profit: some exhibited works by consecrated artists; many showed works coming from authors who have a well known career and are publicly acknowledged; some others presented young artists whose work raised much interest.
