113,000 people; 18, 000 square meters; 5 days. These are some of the figures of what, according to art critics and journalists, was the best edition ever of arteBA Contemporary Art Fair.
arteBA ’07 brought its 16th edition to a close with the full satisfaction of having produced an event which resulted in a first class art show, with a very large number of visitors and an outstanding success in sales.
The true protagonists of this Fair were the art galleries, with undoubtedly daring proposals of a high quality as well. 40% of the galleries came from abroad, mainly from Latin America –which, thus, showed a wide panorama of the best productions in the contemporary art of the region.
One of the acmes of the art fair was the first edition of the OPEN SPACE, a space devoted to large format works and installations. It became a great attraction both for visitors and art buyers and a must for the media in general.
