Este año fue Turquía la que como país invitado, con 10 galerías, dotó de carácter internacional a esta feria realizada un año más en recinto ferial de IFEMA.
The International Exhibition of Contemporary Art knowed as ARCOmadrid took place during the 13th and 17th February in the spanish's capital. We had the opportunity to purchase some of the exhibited works with a value of less than 5,000 euros, and considering art as an insured value, is difficult to distinguish immediately art from what is not art. Turkey was the guest, providing an international role.

Ya avanzado marzo, podemos hacer balance de los resultados conseguidos. Picasso y Chillida fueron los artistas más cotizados y pese a las escasas perspectivas de ventas como consecuencia de la subida del IVA de cara a galeristas y artistas, los resultados han sido buenos, esperanzadores, un volumen total de 118.000 visitantes y la compra de arte por parte de coleccionistas e instituciones son prueba de ello.
Si quieren más información acerca de ARCOmadrid, les invitamos a que visiten su web, y si se perdieron esta feria, tienen otra oportunidad de disfrutar del arte contemporáneo y a poder ser, su adquisición con Tefat Maastrich (15-24 marzo) o Art Paris 2013 (28 marzo-1abril).
