Where Is The Art

Recent ARCO Madrid makes art community wonder, if Argentina is the new el dorado.

Gone are the days, when North American origin was a prerequisite if one wanted to be considered a prominent artist. In our globalized nowadays, artists from every country are enjoying success on the market, with new forces. Recent ARCO in Madrid, which took place from 22 to 26 February had several revelations.

Arco has become the country’s most important contemporary art event, transforming into a European platform for current output from booming Latin American art market. Argentina, which was a guest country for the 2017 edition, had 12 galleries, but the audience could spot Argentinian artists at a number of other booths across the fair. Buenos Aires is also the partner city of a new initiative from the Art Basel Fair and a lot of galleries around the world seem to be betting on the market from Argentina.

艺术在何处?

最近Arco Madrid让整个艺术界都在思考，阿根廷是否是新的埃尓多拉多。

那样的日子已经一去不返了。如果想被认可是一名优秀的艺术家，北美出身不再是必需。在我们全球化的当下，在市场上来自各国的艺术家正在享受由新势力带来的成功。2月22至26日在马德里举办的ARCO对此有所启示。

ARCO已经成为西班牙国家最重要的当代艺术盛事，并正在成为当今蓬勃发展的拉丁美洲艺术市场对外输出的欧洲平台。阿根廷，作为2017年的嘉宾国之一，共有12个画廊。然而观众却可以在全场的一些其他展位见到阿根廷艺术家。布宜诺斯艾利斯也是来自ArtBasel展会的一项新倡议行动的伙伴城市，而世界上的许多画廊似乎都押宝在阿根廷市场。
