25–28 January 2013
Bologna Exhibition Center
Announcing two new artistic directors—Giorgio Verzotti and Claudio Spadoni—new initiatives, and a strong link to the city with an exhibition/cultural programme coordinated by the Director of MAMbo—Gianfranco Maraniello—for the new ARTE FIERA, presenting the finest in Italian, contemporary, and modern art.
A “new ARTE FIERA” to further strengthen the national and international leadership of the largest Italian fair devoted to modern and contemporary art. A strategy that begins with the appointment of two new artistic directors for the exhibition, Italian art experts Giorgio Verzotti for contemporary art and Claudio Spadoni for modern art.
ARTE FIERA 2013 will offer a 360° panorama of artwork thanks to the presence of distinguished modern and contemporary art galleries and to the creation of even stronger synergy with Bologna and its cultural institutions, consolidating the success of events at ARTE FIERA OFF, which draw thousands of art lovers to the city.
The Selection Committee
In addition to its two directors, the new and enlarged Artistic and Selection Committee, already at work, is composed of:
Giuseppe Filippo Biasutti (Biasutti & Biasutti – Turin)
Annamaria Gambuzzi (Paolo Curti /Annamaria Gambuzzi & Co – Milan)
Michael Kewenig (Kewenig Galerie – Cologne)
Antonio Sapone (Galerie Sapone – Nizza)
Giulio Tega (Tega – Milan)
Laura Trisorio (Studio Trisorio – Naples)
A new section: SOLO SHOW
Among the announced initiatives—supplementing the sections devoted to modern and contemporary art—is the new SOLO SHOW section for galleries that intend to present exhibits focusing exclusively on the works of a single artist.
The artists who take part in this new ARTE FIERA initiative will be selected by the Artistic Committee from among the proposals submitted by exhibiting galleries.
