ABOUT THE FAIR

For three decades, ART INTERNATIONAL ZURICH has been setting new trends in the Swiss art scene.

The fair places particular emphasis on personalised art education, authenticity, and cultural openness. The focus is on direct interaction between artists, dealers and visitors. In solo exhibitions, artists showcase their unique styles and visions, ranging from painting and sculpture to experimental media. Visitors can gain an in-depth understanding of the artists’ concepts and forms of expression through personal conversations.

Since its inception in 1999, ART INTERNATIONAL ZURICH has occupied a unique position within the global and Swiss art markets. It caters to a broad and diverse audience, promoting dialogue between artists, galleries and art enthusiasts. The fair sees itself as a forum for exchange, developing perspectives and providing creative inspiration. Many of the works on display explore current issues such as cultural identity, sustainability, urban life and intercultural dialogue. The fair therefore provides a platform for discussing current issues and perspectives in contemporary art.
