It sometimes happens that some of our exhibitors are contacted by firms, who falsely claim that they are working with us
or in our name.
Please note that our society has absolutely no commercial relations at all with one of these firms.
We inform our exhibitors and other involved people that we have no relation at all with the editors of fairguide.com.
BB International Fine Arts warn about firms (for example Fair Guide, Expo Guide, Matic Verlagsgesellschaft or Construct Data), who publish information about your participation in an art fair and then use, as a return service, our names in their own letters. Such a publication often means high costs for you.
These firms have no relation at all with BB International Fine Arts GmbH and the fairs we organize.
We advise you to examine any offers from such companies very exactly and to avoid any disreputable firms.
If you are still victims of such firms, please note the following tips:

Dr. Joseph Yammouni use the name of our exhibitions for the publicity of his magazine "Byblos" without our authorization. He said that this magazine was displayed and distributed in our fair ART INTERNATIONAL Zurich as well as in other art fairs. In fact, we are awave of two displays without authorization in the last years.
This magazine presents itself as an art and lifestyle publication, with a light humanist touch, but finances itself through advertising and inserts, paid by artists. We observed that this publication is displayed especially in hotels, which is not the most effective propaganda.
After he displayed his magazine in one of our exhibitions, we admonished the publisher by letter and banned him from the exhibition.
But he still uses the name of our exhibition as a reference and ignored the ban. Also some exhibitors complained later about worrying and shameless commercial methods from the publisher during and after our fair.
