Billed as “the largest international gathering of qualified trade buyers, Artexpo,” seeks to “champion the power of the arts to start conversations we might not otherwise have.” In addition to the art on display, Art Expo also features Art Talks with gallerists and other programs.

One stand-out exhibit comes from Art Love Gallery @artlovegallery_ in Booth 207. With a background in art, film, and TV production, Art Love Gallery founder and artist Jackie Fuchs bring a keen eye and business acumen to the artists she represents. A successful artist herself, she guides artists’ careers, carefully shaping their individuality and brand. Art Love Gallery has established itself as an award-winning gallery with exhibitions at art fairs and pop-ups, always giving art collectors something new and innovative for their collections.

The work of German artist Patrizia Casagranda @casagrandapatrizia_ was another highlight. Women figure prominently as subjects in her work, whether as a princess, a mythological figure, a rubbish collector or a member of a particular faith.

She uses women subjects as a means for focusing on the great, global themes of our time. Equality, justice and tolerance can be seen as demands resulting from her examination of the Indian rubbish girls from the Kabelia caste. These fundamental values are can also be found in her series Belief, which is about world religions.
