What is Estampa?

Estampa is a contemporary art fair held in the autumn of Madrid for the past 33 years. Its focus is on the art market in Spain, with a concern for the development and stabilization of sustainable collecting to support a constantly growing and evolving gallery scene in the country.
The fair is structured around a General Program featuring major galleries, as well as a series of programs curated to highlight the most recent practices in contemporary art or to shine a light on more experimental and less mainstream topics.
Our collectors' program invites a selection of international buyers who visit Estampa each year to discover or reaffirm the quality of our national galleries. This is complemented by a series of activities centered on the exploration and review of contemporary art collecting.
ESTAMPA strengthens its program for both national and international collectors, with special invitations extended to private collectors, advisors, collection managers, institutional directors, and professionals from the art market and collecting community across Europe.
Acquisition awards granted by various institutions, residencies, meetings, and professional forums, along with visiting programs and public relations, have become increasingly prominent in each edition, underscoring the commitment of both public and private collectors, as well as professionals in Spain’s art market.
