ARCOmadrid 2021, mission accomplished

To reactivate the market, foster art sales and promote the reunion of contemporary art professionals were the goals driving the organisation of this exceptional edition of ARCOmadrid 2021. Goals that were at the heart of IFEMA MADRID’s endeavour to recover this essential event for the stimulation of the art business, to attract great collectors from around the world and to debate the immediate future of art. To do this, three fundamental pillars have formed the backbone of this edition: quality contents, internationality and the presence of collectors
