About the fair



ART MOSCOW is a truly landmark event. Founded in 1996, it is the largest and longest-running art fair in Russia that brings together classical and contemporary art, high jewellery and design under one roof.


Featuring works from over 150 participants, including leading galleries and celebrated artists, the fair spans a vast artistic timeline, showcasing both historical masterpieces and cutting-edge contemporary artworks across a diverse array of media and techniques.


ART MOSCOW serves as an extraordinary retrospective of visual styles and artistic periods: from Russian and European classical art and iconography to Baroque-era works, intricate carving and intarsia, neo-Russian and gothic eclecticism, Art Nouveau, Impressionism, Avant-garde, Socialist Realism, Nonconformist and Conceptual art, street art, modern and classical photography, collectible design, and all the different facets of contemporary art realised in both physical and digital realms.


The Jewellery Art section is dedicated to the finest Russian jewellery houses and artisans. Featuring rare gemstones, innovative techniques, and exceptional craftsmanship, the pieces on display are acclaimed masterpieces of contemporary jewellery art.


The Design section showcases the latest trends in object and interior design by leading Russian and international creators. The pieces on show transcend their strictly functional purpose and become works of art, limited collectible items, reflecting not only the current state of interior design, but also its evolution over time.


Apart from the diverse exposition, an engaging educational program will feature presentations and discussions led by prominent figures in the art world. Namely, the Bakshtein conference facilitates inter-institutional cooperation in order to drive further development of Russian art, while creating a more tightly-knit professional network. Directors and founders of leading art institutions, representatives of the local and federal administration, and top-tier creative professionals come together to find middle ground on the most pressing issues within the cultural sector.


As part of the fair’s broader business and public program, top managers of the leading high jewellery brands, renowned interior designers, art historians, artists and creators will present their upcoming projects and initiatives to the public, while offering insights into the inner workings of the current art scene.

 

 

 



We want to evade dividing art into old and new. Today the viewer wants to visit a fair and get everything of their interest. And who knows, someone with a passion for Russian classical painting may suddenly fall in love with contemporary art.
