"The fair offers quite a mix, from Old Master paintings and Murano glass to works by Picasso, Warhol and Richter. The variety continues with the galleries present: heavyweights such as Christophe Van der Weghe and Almine Rech are present, alongside smaller exhibitors like newcomer Barovier & Toso of Venice."
"John Paton, executive chair, explains that its strategy is to increase its presence in the market: the company already owns Miami's Untitled and New York's Independent art fair. 'There are complementary audiences in these fields, with a clientele of collectors with wealth,' he says."
"Star of its stand was Poussin's Landscape with a man washing his feet at a fountain, about 1640, priced at €1.3m. There was also a Poussin on the stand of Voena, alongside an installation of Paolini plaster heads on columns, some broken, some intact."
Art Monte Carlo, held from April 29 to May 1, features a diverse mix of artworks, including Old Masters and contemporary pieces by renowned artists. With 26 exhibitors, the fair aims to attract wealthy collectors and has been acquired by Informa Prestige to enhance its market presence. The event has moved to April and is hosted at the Grimaldi Forum. Notable exhibits include works by Poussin, with a focus on 18th-century art, coinciding with a related exhibition at the New National Museum of Monaco.
