King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain were at the IFEMA-Madrid to open the annual 42nd edition of the International Contemporary Art Fair-ARCOmadrid. The Art Fair is the annual event and a staple agenda in the schedule of the royal couple. The art fair is an international event and serves as one of the biggest platforms for art and artists.
Upon arrival, King Felipe and Queen Letizia visited various stalls in Halls 7 and 9 of the fair. They met with the organizers and artists and viewed their creations. These rooms include exhibitions from various artists hailing from Spain, the UK, Germany, Lisbon and Argentina.
This year’s guest of the honoured country is Argentina. The First Lady of Argentina Fabiola Yáñez was present at the Art Fair. Argentina is holding an exhibition named “Never the Same”, showcasing the life of Latin Americans through galleries.
After the tours, The Royal couple was greeted by the winners of the ´A` Awards for Collecting awarded by the ARCO Foundation, Juan Vergez and Patricia Pearson de Vergez – Latin American Private Collection; Collegium: Lorena Pérez-Jácome and Javier Lumbreras – Diffusion and Research of Contemporary Art from Collecting; Alejandro Lázaro and Alejandra González – National Private Young Collection.
The program, “The Mediterranean: A Round Sea”, curated by Marina Fokidis, and with the advice of Bouchra Khalili, Hila Peleg and Pedro G. Romero, revolves around the artistic scenes of the countries that surround this sea, from the south to north and from coast to coast.
