MADRID.- Art Madrid’s Fifth edition of
ARCO closed its doors with great public success and significant levels of
institutional purchases and private collectors. In a complex year for the
contemporary art world, Art Madrid consolidates as an essential meeting point
for contemporary Spanish art, increasing the number of visitors to 37,000,
almost 20% more than last year, with sales exceeding those of the previous
edition. Regarding its sixth edition, next year Art Madrid´s organizers
will emphasize its search for a greater quality in the proposed exhibition
galleries. Thus it will create an external selection committee and will look for
independent artistic advisors for the various programs to be carried out.
