ART FAIR TOKYO, the largest fair of its kind in Japan, began in 2005, and this year it celebrates its fifth anniversary. Featuring contemporary art, modern art, nihonga and ukiyoe, in addition to other Asian works of art and antiques, ART FAIR TOKYO is known throughout the world for both the wide genres and periods it covers and for the quality of its exhibits.
Last year’s edition of the fair attracted 45,000 people, an increase on the previous year, and an indication of how interest in art has gradually grown in Japanese society. ART FAIR TOKYO 2010 will be held, as always, at the Tokyo International Forum, and will include 139 galleries. As with last year, a special section that is devoted to new galleries of contemporary art will be set up and held in the lobby of the main venue, this time under the banner of “PROJECTS.” Meanwhile, a fascinating selection of related events will be held, including the popular talk series, “Dialogues in Art,” and a range of guided tours tailor made for everyone from art fair beginners to veteran collectors.
As always, ART FAIR TOKYO 2010 will be held in the cherry blossom season, the most beautiful time of year in Japan.
I think, it is amazing!
