GRANDART, promoted by Ente Fiera Promoberg and by Media Consulter, in collaboration with ANGAMC (the National Association of Modern and Contemporary Art Galleries), enters the Milan trade fair scene as a real novelty.
GRANDART is a new modern and contemporary art fair dedicated to all those galleries and artists who move within that perimeter of painting, sculpture and applied arts which maintains a close link with techniques, with the poetics of materials, and with the great history of art.
GRANDART will welcome a nucleus of Italian and international galleries, selected by a scientific committee, made up of Bianca Cerrina Feroni, journalist and critic, Martina Mazzotta, curator, Angelo Crespi, journalist and critic, Lorenza Salamon, gallery owner, Federico Rui, gallery owner, Stefano Zuffi , art historian, chosen based on criteria in which the values of "know-how" and the tension towards solutions call into question the category of beauty, to be traced in the present.
A series of protagonists of the classic-modern panorama, among which real rediscoveries stand out, will be accompanied by a panel of names in contemporary art and emerging young people.
As Angelo Crespi states, "GRANDART aims to be a fair that pays homage to the Italian pictorial tradition in a city, Milan, which has seen the birth and affirmation of some very important artistic movements, such as Lucio Fontana's Spatialism, kinetic art, nuclear art , existential realism and others, but also twenty years away from that Milanese workshop which had its most characteristic expressive figure in figuration”.
