A tour of 10 must-see booths at the miart 2026 fair in Milan

Un giro in 10 stand da non mancare alla fiera miart 2026 a Milano

The 30th edition of miart, Milan’s international modern and contemporary art fair, has launched at the Allianz MiCo South Wing under the artistic direction of Nicola Ricciardi. Titled "New Directions," the 2026 edition features 160 galleries from 24 countries, organized into sections like Emergent, Established, and Established Anthology. Despite some logistical complaints regarding the new layout, the opening saw high attendance and early optimism from dealers regarding sales.

This milestone edition marks Ricciardi’s final year as director and signals a shift toward a more experimental, non-linear fair structure. By highlighting specific booths such as Alice Folker Gallery and Ilenia Gallery, the event reinforces Milan's position as a critical hub for the European art market, blending established blue-chip presentations with emerging talent and site-specific dialogues between international galleries.
