Thomas Hug is happy to have succeeded in introducing this Monegasque art fair à la française on the international scene in the wake of artgenève which still remains a reference in the world of art . ’ Both forums share the same identity , a common DNA . We want to preserve a certain luxury , offering comfort to the eye and the spirit , avoiding the chaotic aspect and indigestibility of certain gigantic exhibitions ‘.
No tiny stands clustered in station-like halls , no massive catalogues . This is a savvy selection of recognized French , Italian and Anglo- Saxon dealers presenting their rare pieces . This year each gallery will only be able to exhibit three works , each one of them subject to expert reviews by renowned critics . The event will actually coincide with the great summer exhibition in the Grimaldi Forum dedicated to Giacometti . The space will therefore be adapted accordingly for the art forum to benefit from the best setting . Sculptures will be exhibited on the esplanade . Another novelty is a jewellery exhibition held in a small , prestigious venue for some ten handpicked jewellery houses .
’ More than ever before , art is a safe haven , and collectors appreciate the human side of their investment choices . We can say that we know all our customers and have special relationships with them .‘

Thomas Hug is also hoping to organize a special dinner for the collectors amidst the art works . It will be catered by the starred Mauro Colagreco in the spirit of the ephemeral artgenève restaurants . A pleasant way out of the recent confinement , introducing guests to the chef ’ s ever lively and surprising creations .
