Art Fair Tokyo 2014 unveils a list of top quality exhibitors and special projects
Art Fair Tokyo announces with much enthusiasm, the ninth edition of its fair, scheduled to be held from the 7th to the 9th of March at Tokyo International Forum.

Art Fair Tokyo is the largest fair of its kind in Japan, featuring high-quality domestic and international galleries that cover a wide range of genres and periods from antiques, arts and crafts, nihonga, modern art to the latest contemporary art. This year, we welcome over 140 galleries from 15 cities domestically and 13 cities internationally.

Our exciting new section is G-plus, where many major contemporary art galleries throughout Japan collectively aim to expand their reach in the art world. One of our fair highlights will feature multiple galleries working together to showcase a unique exhibition of artworks.

At the DISCOVER ASIA section, for our third time around, we welcome galleries dealing with cutting-edge Asian contemporary art. This includes first-time venues from areas attracting the greatest attention in the fine art world today, such as the Philippines and Indonesia.

Approximately 100 galleries from domestic veterans to international galleries will present exhibition booths in the Galleries area. The antique street in this area exhibits unrivaled works of antiquity set within superb booth installations. Museum-class pieces from modern to contemporary will also be exhibited here in this area.

Artistic Practices is a section which began in 2011 out of a concept that “artistic practice is present in any era and any genre.” It showcases a range of creativity centering on the fine arts including superb artworks and product design. Marking its fourth appearance this year, it will turn to modern painting, offering visitors the opportunity to experience the history of Japanese fine art alongside the diversity of artworks on display in the galleries’ exhibits. Presented under the theme of “modernity-created by Japan,” it will feature a wealth of modern paintings that are uniquely Japanese.

The booths presented under the title OUTLINES will feature original exhibitions recommended by either AFT working committees or proposed by galleries. One of the booths will feature up-and-coming media artists coupled with an interesting talk event collaboration with prominent curators to help in the realization of the exhibition and the genre in its entire depth. We will also present the TOKYO LIMITED section, which made its debut at the fair last year. This section showcases applied art such as crafts, jewelry and fashion in the context of fine art. It will feature a host of exhibits rarely seen in the visual arts.
Following are the list of the exciting components and the galleries exhibiting in its latest fair.
