The art forum ’ s 5th edition reinstates its international reputation . According to its director , Thomas Hug : ’ Most of our exhibitors and collectors become our regulars ‘...

The 5th edition of artmonte-carlo , an unmissable event for collectors , had sadly , earlier , been compromised by the sanitary crisis . The forum initially planned , but cancelled in April 2020 , is returning to the Principality this summer with new dynamics .

At the start it was a bit of an adventure . The idea was to create a landmark on the French Riviera using the Principality ’ s international influence and bringing together collectors and art lovers from all around the world . Now artmonte-carlo celebrating its 5th edition can safely say to have met its challenge . From July 15th to 19th , it will be welcoming some thirty prestigious galleries of modern and contemporary art . This unusual salon , both professional and convivial , even intimate , has truly reached its age of reason .

’ Our mission was to create a human-sized fair , providing the best conditions for receiving our galleries and visitors . We are proud to relate that most of our exhibitors who have been coming here for four years , are becoming artmonte-carlo followers . For this coming edition , to be held in times of crisis , we had to limit the number of exhibitors , favouring the top end of the range ‘.
