Latest acquisitions

During the holding of ARCOmadrid, Fundación ARCO makes acquisitions with funds raised from private donations and the collection of the dinner held on the occasion of the “A” Awards for Collecting organised by Fundación ARCO, in addition to the funds provided by IFEMA MADRID. The procurement policy focuses on the works of national and international artists, seeking to make the acquired works representative of the production of the selected artists.

The curators are responsible for making a selection of works during the days of the fair's set-up and inauguration in each edition. This selection is presented to the Chairman of Fundación ARCO and the other members of the Advisory Council in order to subsequently prepare a final list of acquisitions that is published in the press together with the rest of the institutions that have acquired works during the first few days of the fair.
