Monaco art fair artmonte-carlo will return to seaside conference centre the Grimaldi Forum from 13 to 16 July.
The event’s sixth edition is being held under the High Patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II and the direction of Thomas Hug, who also directed this year’s artgenève. It features many of the world’s top contemporary art galleries, including Air de Paris, Almine Rech, Esther Schipper, Hauser & Wirth, kamel mennour, Perrotin, and White Cube.
The fair will also present modern art and antique dealers such as Robilant + Voena, Cortesi, and Moretti Fine Art.
Beyond the booths, attendees will encounter outdoor sculptures on the Esplanade of the Grimaldi Forum, and ten video works from the Julia Stoschek Collection displayed in the Forum’s Indigo space.
The videos include works by artists including Hannah Black, Loretta Fahrenholz, Douglas Gordon, Klara Liden, Wang Shui, Chloe Wise, and Tobias Zielony.
During the fair, galleries will compete for the artmonte-carlo – F.P.Journe Prize. Backed by the Swiss watch company, founded in 1999 by François-Paul Journe, the prize is awarded for the best gallery presentation at the fair. One of the works from the winning presentation will be donated to an art institution in the region.
Last year’s prize was won by Paris’s Galerie Nathalie Obadia and sculptor Guillaume Leblon for the work Birds of Paradise, which was donated to the Nouveau Musée National de Monaco (NMNM). (The museum will present retrospectives of Helmut Newton and Christian Bérard during the fair.)
This year’s artmonte-carlo – F.P.Journe Prize will be decided by curator Nicolas Bourriaud, NMNM director Björn Dahlström, and Eric Mangion, director of the Centre National d’Art Contemporain at the Villa Arson in Nice.
