A Milano ha inaugurato miart 2026: i primi scatti della fiera che compie 30 anni e debutta in uno spazio tutto nuovo
The 30th edition of miart, Milan’s modern and contemporary art fair, has opened at its new venue in the South Wing of Allianz MiCo. Under the final year of Nicola Ricciardi’s direction, the fair features 160 galleries from 24 countries organized around the theme "New Directions," inspired by the jazz innovations of John Coltrane. The layout has transitioned from a single-floor format to a three-level experience, incorporating sections such as Emergent for experimental works and the new Established Anthology, which focuses on non-linear art history.
This anniversary edition marks a significant structural and conceptual shift for Italy's leading art fair as it seeks to modernize its identity. While the multi-level layout and panoramic views of CityLife offer a more scenic visitor experience, the change challenges traditional fair navigation. The inclusion of specialized curated sections like Movements, in collaboration with the St. Moritz Art Film Festival, signals miart's ambition to evolve beyond a standard commercial trade show into a complex cultural platform.
