The roundtable devoted to the new developing market of NFTs was also welcomed extremely positively. A new section featuring NFTs will be curated for the upcoming 2022 new edition.
Last 2021 edition was much acclaimed by the public and the critics. This was confirmed by the positive sale results for the galleries participating to the 10th edition of the Italian photography art fair, with more than 70 percent of them closing deals. | | | | | | | | | | © MIA Fair | | | | | | Beyond the quality of the exhibition proposal, which every year brings to Milan the best that the world of photography can express, MIA Fair has always distinguished itself for the importance and variety of its awards, the result of valuable collaborations with various institutions and cultural partners. MIA Fair has achieved the result of creating a strong collectors’ base, which approaches contemporary art through the collection of photography.
Among the various awards, the most important is the BNL BNP Paribas Group Award, assigned by a jury to artists who takes part to the fair, as further confirmation of its commitment to the world of art and collecting in general, and in continuity with its aims of economic, social and cultural development.
In addition, from the 11th edition MIA Fair joins forces with Fiere di Parma, one of the leading Italian trade fairs organizers, aiming to give a further boost to the photography market and to attract investments both from collectors and international professional buyers. This will enable MIA Fair to position itself as a decisive European event, capitalizing on the Milan location and the strong international relations of Fiere di Parma. For this partnership Fiere di Parma will also set up an annual fund for the purchase of art works with the aim of enriching and increasing its artistic heritage. | | | | | | | | | Winner BNL Group BNP Paribas Award 2021
