miart 2025: among friends

Press release

With 179 galleries from 31 countries across five continents, gathering over a hundred years of art under one roof, miart reaffirms its strength and status as a pivotal event on the European art fair circuit. Significant returns and major first-time participants, such as Ben Brown Fine Arts, Sadie Coles HQ, MASSIMODECARLO, Meyer Riegger, Victoria Miro, and Esther Schipper, mark this year’s strong international standing. A wide-ranging programme of initiatives translates this year’s curatorial theme into tangible experiences thanks to new museum exhibitions, happenings, and talks focusing on the legacy of Robert Rauschenberg.

 
Fiera Milano presents the 29th edition of miart, the international modern and contemporary art fair, taking place from 4 to 6 April 2025 (VIP preview on Thursday 3 April) at Allianz MiCo in Milan.

Under the artistic direction of Nicola Ricciardi, and thanks to the efforts of an expanded team of curators and art professionals, miart 2025 reaffirms its central role in the European art scene. The fair strikes a balance between local identity and international reach, carefully blending leading Italian exhibitors with some of the most important galleries from five continents.

Organised into three sections—Established, Emergent, and Portal—miart 2025 presents an extensive chronological spectrum, from masterpieces of the early and mid-20th century to cutting-edge contemporary works, alongside curated presentations of collectible design and a spotlight on the Italian masters who played a pivotal role in shaping the artistic vibrancy of Milan and the country as a whole.

among friends, title and theme of this year’s edition, reflects miart’s ambition to cultivate and strengthen the network of relationships built over the years, reinforcing its status as a leading platform in the international art and cultural scene.
