Estampa 2021
The ESTAMPA fair has been held in autumn for 27 years, but in 2020 the Organizing Committee decided to postpone the 28th edition, scheduled for November, given the situation of social and health instability caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and finally it was held in the spring of this year at IFEMA.
Estampa is a contemporary art fair whose scope of work is the art and collecting market in Spain and Portugal, disseminating and promoting it to collectors and professionals outside our borders through its international guest programs.
The art fair is structured around a General Program of large Spanish galleries and a series of programs whose curators present the most recent news in the practice of contemporary art or place the focus on more experimental issues less familiar to the general public.
In parallel to the celebration of the fair, a virtual space designed especially for this occasion has been set up to complement face-to-face assistance. Here the participating galleries can show and develop the program presented at Estampa to visitors and collectors. This virtual environment not only complements and helps to organize the visit to the fair, but it replaces the traditional catalog, and will be active during the weeks after the fair to encourage activity in the galleries after the show closes, so if you could not attend, you are still on time to visit it virtually.
WHEN?
April 8. Hours: 11:00a.m. - 8:00p.m.
From April 9 to 11. Hours: 12:00a.m. - 8:00p.m.
