About the Exhibition

The annual art fair ART INTERNATIONAL ZURICH has been offering a wide range of modern and contemporary art since 1999. A stylish, centrally located art fair, it offers a discerning audience not only presentation and trade, but also the opportunity to meet and network.

ART INTERNATIONAL ZURICH is an art market, an exhibition and a platform for trade and communication. It is a meeting place for gallery owners, collectors, dealers, curators, artists and a public interested in art.
Works from all artistic disciplines are exhibited, including painting, graphic art, sculpture and photography. There is also space for virtual works.

The focus is on personal encounters, as ART INTERNATIONAL ZURICH serves as a discovery fair and a forum for lively exchange. The art fair is an excellent opportunity for regional and international networking.

Beware of dubious offers

Unfortunately, as with all trade shows, our exhibitors and customers are sometimes contacted by companies or organisations falsely claiming to be working with us or on our behalf, sending subscription offers or even fake invoices.

For example, there is a constant flow of emails from so-called list providers claiming to have access to our visitors' addresses and allegedly wanting to sell them. And then there are companies that publish so-called trade show listings. Such publication is usually associated with high costs, which are usually hidden in the small print.

We would like to point out that these companies and organisations do not have access to our data! These organisations generally obtain their data from publicly available sources.
