miart 2021

From 17 to 19 September 2021 (VIP preview 16 September) miart, the international modern and contemporary art fair organised by Fiera Milano, will make a long-awaited comeback. Now in its twenty-fifth edition, it will be directed for the first time by Nicola Ricciardi.

145 galleries from 21 countries (traditionally split into 5 sections: Established Contemporary, Established Masters, Emergent, Decades, and Generations) will present in the pavilions of fieramilanocity_MiCo – and at the same time on a dedicated digital platform – artworks by established contemporary artists, modern masters, and emerging young talents. With a path full of dialogues, discoveries, and rediscoveries from the early twentieth century to the creations of the latest generations, miart maintains its wide chronological offer and confirms its international nature.

Moreover, this year, miart pays special attention to the poetic word – interpreted as a form of universal language – starting with the title chosen for its 2021 edition: Dismantling the silence, from the namesake collection of poems by the Serbian-born American poet Charles Simić, fifty years after its publication. This theme has been explored through a series of initiatives designed to trigger new dialogues between past and present, history and experimentation, and promoting the blossoming of new forms of communication among all the subjects that have always animated the fair.
