Spotlight on Spain at our Amsterdam fair

Nederlandse versie

Amsterdam is a city famed for being a meeting place of different cultures from all across the world and we’re excited to celebrate this even more with a ‘Spotlight’ series. Starting with our 2023 edition in Amsterdam, each year we’ll dedicate a whole section of the fair to highlighting a country, technique or theme to visitors. This year, we’ve decided to champion the diverse, extraordinary art from Spain. Introducing: Spotlight on Spain.

Spanish galleries have, for many years, been proud ambassadors for their country at Affordable Art Fair Amsterdam. You’ll be treated to a whole neighbourhood of Spanish galleries gathered together to share the work of their artists alongside one another.

Get a first look at the six galleries joining us in this section in November.

Espai Cavallers Gallery

Since its creation in 2004, Espai Cavallers has been representing over 50 artists in their gallery in the historic center of Lleida, in Catalonia. Around 10 exhibitions are scheduled each year, both solo and group exhibitions, with the participation of artists from the Gallery and new artists.

The visitors will be invited to explore the figurative works of Lídia Masllorens, Sonia Alins and Magí Puig, alongside the abstract works of Tatiana Blanqué amongst others.

Anquins Gallery

A long time favourite at Affordable Art Fair, Anquins Gallery was founded in 1973 in Reus, 100 km south of Barcelona. In the last 48 years, the gallery has presented a wide variety of contemporary artists, both national and international, and remains one of the most established galleries in their region. Gallery director, Pepa Quintero’s, curatorial talent for sharing simultaneously strong and sensitive works will be in full view at the fair. She’ll be showcasing the stunning works by Beatrice Bizot, Jordi Sabat, Monica Castanys and many more.

OCCO Art Gallery

Galería de Arte María Aguilar

Galería de Arte María Aguilar was founded in Chiclana, Spain back in 1997. The gallery’s goal is the diffusion of Spanish Contemporary Art, with a particular focus on championing the talent of Andalusian painters. Sharing their personal expertise on the development of art in this region, as well as showcasing a variety of styles from artists such as Moraldi Gonzàles, Eduardo Query, José Naranjo, Fran Mora and sculptor Marta Sánchez Luengo, this stand is sure to be an oasis of dreamy landscapes.

Galeria De Arte Juca Claret

Galeria de Arte Juca Claret opened its doors in 2006 with the goal of bringing a diverse range of contemporary art to the public in its hometown of Madrid. Central to their curation is technique and a sense of sincerity in artistic intention. Between the miniature watercolour works of Anna Aström, Juan Jose Vicente’s haunting landscapes and Pedro de Miquel’s sensual abstract paintings, we can’t wait to be immersed in their stand this year.

Affordable Art Fair Amsterdam will return from 1 – 5 November at the iconic De Kromhouthal venue. We’re so excited to kick-off our ‘Spotlight’ section and champion these incredible Spanish galleries. We hope you’ve loved what you’ve seen here and are feeling suitably inspired to join us in getting closer to extraordinary art.

Make sure to secure your tickets now. We can’t wait to see you there.
