Before the 2023 edition of miart— the annual modern and contemporary art fair presented in Milan from April 14-16 — has continued to gain momentum and enthusiasm for its opening “crescendo”. Crescendo is both the title and the key word for the 27th edition of the fair, highlighting the range of new or expanded programs, the list of participating galleries and the premiere of Milano Art Week.
With more galleries in attendance than the previous year – 169 galleries from 27 countries – the next iteration of Miart will be the most diverse yet, with a 40% increase in the list of international exhibitors.

The fair’s three flagship sections promise a comprehensive look at the positioning of modern and contemporary art today. Established will offer a broad display ranging from modern masters to the latest works of art by leading contemporary artists; Decades highlights historical works from the 20th century, delineated by decade; and Emergent will highlight the latest works of the new generation of artists.

With the Emergent section curated by independent curator Attilia Fattori Franchini, and Decades curated by ICA, Milan, director Alberto Salvadori, there is also a wider and more global curated program to look forward to. Extending beyond the walls of the fair, Miart will engage with the city as a whole. Miart Live at the Milan Triennale will host a series of assemblies and conversations centered on the role of art in contexts and disciplines not traditionally considered part of the art world. He will also serve as the premier of the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Nicola Trussardi Foundation as a nomadic museum, which will begin with the cutting of a cake donated by Maurizio Cattelan.

Further amplifying the reach of Miarts’ engagement with the wider arts community, The Sound of Miart project powered by Radio Deejay, Radio Capital and M20 will air three music playlists on the radio that convey the themes of the fair. .
Alongside collaborations with Triennale Milano and Fondazione Nicola Trussardi, the next edition of Miart will highlight the fair’s commitment to producing and promoting culture, and fostering engagement not only between art world ecosystems existing, but also with the people and the region where the fair is located.
