Sections

Main Section

The Main Section brings together most prestigious galleries in the international art scene: established protagonists offering collectors and visitors a survey of the highest quality.

Monologue/Dialogue

Monologue/Dialogue is reserved to experimental galleries, with proposals curated in the form of monographic stand or in dialogue between two artists.

New Entries

New Entries is the Artissima section reserved to young international galleries, active for less than five years and present for the first time at the fair to offer a lively overview of new languages and visions from the global art scene.

Art Editions

Art Editions is dedicated to galleries and non-profit spaces presenting editions, prints and multiples by contemporary talents.

Present Future

Present Future is the section of Artissima that showcases emerging talents, preferably less than 40 years old. The artists, presented by their reference galleries, are selected on the basis of a specific project. The section features monographic projects with the goal of shedding light on new, more significant and cutting-edge trends on the international art scene.

Back to the Future

Back to the Future 2026 presents monographic exhibitions by pioneers of contemporary art who, at different moment and in different places, between the 1930s and 1990s, were brave enough to stand up against what they deemed wrong. Artists are often the spokespersons of society, and their work channels not only anger and frustration, but also the dreams, the aspirations, the hopes that are essential to life. Application is also open to Artists’ Estates.

Disegni

Disegni

is the only section in Italian art fairs dedicated to this medium. It presents projects conceived as solo shows that enhance the authenticity and autonomy of the work on paper. The section promotes the uniqueness of the drawing, its innate immediacy, being the first translation of the artist’s idea and the only unfiltered access to his creative process.
