MiArt
Friday, April 4 through Sunday, April 6, 2025
A quite important
show-cum-sale, MiArt is held in Milan's city trade quarter with an eye to making the general public more familiar with modern and contemporary art. (Images from the 2024 edition are available at the CiaoMilano
Flickr webpages.) The event, in which some hundred eighty Italian and foreign galleries take part, is complemented by
talks, conferences, meetings, and a series of more events around town – the Art Week – with several galleries open till late from Tuesday, April 1st till Sunday, April 6.
.:. The MiArt 2025 edition, which is entitled
among friends after a retrospective dedicated to Robert Rauschenberg currently at the Museo del Novecento, has the main
Established section based on Italian galleries as its backbone, while
Emergent also gathers international galleries introducing the most recent generations of artists, and
Portal discovers intriguing practices that only apparently come from far away and distant times. Artworks on display include masterpieces from the early 20th century – with names like Balla, de Chirico, Schiele and Picabia – along with new productions by some influential contemporary artists, from David Hockney to Francis Alys, Rosa Barba and Monica Bonvicini.
.:. MiArt shares the leading role among contemporary art fairs in Italy with Artissima (in Turin, November) and ArteFiera (in Bologna, January-February).
