ART MADRID, Makeshift Art Gallery

Beyond commercial purposes, perhaps the most valuable merit of an art fair is turning its sites into intense-use galleries, for a heterogenic audience, mobilized by the peremptory character of the proposal.

This could be said about ARCO, as well as the four fairs around it through February 20: Art Madrid, JustMad, MadridDeArte, FLECHA. Particularly, we’d like to mention the Pabellon de Cristal at Casa de Campo de Madrid. Thanks to the data provided by its press office, we can say that Art Madrid showcased works including all trends and ages of contemporary art.

The list of the displayed collection includes 589 artists. There were avant-garde master, such as Matisse, Picasso, Miró, Andy Warhol, Henry Moore, Dalí, Vasarely, De Chirico, Karel Appel, Sónia Delaunay, Le Corbusier; as well as remarkable creators from the second half of last century: Julio Le Parc, Donald Judd, Gerhard Richter, A.R. Penck, Francesco Clemente, Dennis Oppenheim, Christo, Lindström, Victor Brauner.

Also matching its profile, names of Spanish contemporary art such as Tàpies, Antonio Lopez, Canogar, Arroyo, Jose Guerrero, Zobel, Antonio Saura, Palazuelo, Luis Feito, Millares, Sempere, Chillida, Hernandez Pijoan, Manolo Valdes, Equipo Cronica or Juan Genoves, and representatives from later generations: Xavier Mascaro, Alfonso Albacete, Juan Usle, Broto, Sicilia, Gordillo, Miquel Barcelo, Miralda, Evru-Zush, Miquel Navarro, Plensa, Carmen Calvo, Eva Lootz, Eulalia Valldosera, Fernando Bellver, Gonzalo Sicre, Francisco Leiro, among other.

Along with these acclaimed artists, Art Madrid provided an important list of emerging artists, such as: Alicia Martin, Sara Huete, Amaya Bozal, Mar Vicente, Carlos Pazos, Marina Vargas,Verbis, Sara Sanz, Gonzalez de la Calle, Sheila Pazos, Samuel Salcedo or Jose Luis Serzo, Yasumasa Morimura, Thomas Struth, Ouka Leele, Jose Manuel Ballester, Isabel Tallos, Colita, Alberto Schommer, Carlos Saura, Jose Ramon Bas, Teresa Correa or Leticia Felguerosa, among other.

For six years, Art Madrid has gained momentum as benchmark fair in the market of contemporary art, with the peculiarity of being mostly aimed at collectors of Spanish contemporary art. With its eagerness to go deeper and get specialized in the world of that sort of events, it supports, again, young artists and galleries of Spain through Young Art, program gathering 59 artists, among them Rafa Macarron, Hander Lara, Jose Moñú, Ana Pimentel, Xurxo Gomez-Chao, Efraïm Rodriguez, Ramon Surinyac, Andre and Montse, Moran Sociedad Artistica, Sito Mujica, Xurxo Alonso, Fabio Camarotta, Luis Caruncho.
