ABOUT MARKET

MARKET 2012, 17–19 February at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm.

In addition to the main fair, MARKET also offers:

MARKET XL - is a new section for a more extensive solo presentation.

MARKET Emerging - newly established galleries with a distinctly young profile are put in the spotlight.

MARKET Editions & Multiples is geared towards galleries working with high-quality editions and multiples.

MARKET At Large offers participating galleries the opportunity to display art work that may be difficult to show in a regular stand such as installations and large format sculptures placed throughout the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts.

BACKGROUND

MARKET took place for the first time in February 2006 at the initiative of a group of gallerists looking to create a high-quality fair in central Stockholm. Since the summer of 2007, the organisation of the fair has been managed by Konstmässan Market i Stockholm AB, owned by a group of Nordic gallerists. The fair highlights Swedish and Nordic galleries and participants show a wide selection of the most exciting international contemporary art. There has been tremendous interest in MARKET and the fair has been very well received by gallerists, collectors, visitors and the press alike.

Through its cooperation with the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts, MARKET has anchored the forward-looking arts scene in a rich artistic tradition. For over 270 years the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts has promoted the role of art and architecture in Swedish society. The choice of location gives the fair a unique character. MARKET’s vision is to be the Nordic art scene’s premier fair in terms of quality, and a meeting place for everyone interested in the contemporary art world.
