The event takes place from March 14-19, 2026, and features over 260 prestigious dealers from 20 countries. The fair showcases the finest art works currently on the market, covering traditional areas such as Old Master paintings, antiques, and classical antiquities, as well as modern and contemporary art, photography, jewelry, 20th century design, and works on paper.
The event attracts art professionals and connoisseurs from around the globe, including major private and institutional collectors, art consultants, interior designers, dealers, students, and the culturally curious.
