""It is the periphery that now feels essential. Regional fairs are not second-tier—they can be high-quality, focused, and business-like. We will never be as big as Frieze but I think, as this year's edition proves, international galleries can show artists here whom they would otherwise present at those larger fairs.""
""Market Art Fair now feels like an international fair, but Stockholm-sized. Or, as one of the artists put it: it feels like a big fair but cosy. We take this as a huge compliment.""
The Market Art Fair in Stockholm features 54 galleries, primarily from the Nordics, alongside international participants. The fair aims to elevate regional art fairs, asserting their importance in the art market. Fair director Sara Berner Bengtsson emphasizes the quality and business potential of regional fairs, noting that international galleries can successfully present artists in Stockholm. Despite concerns about the new venue's accessibility, the fair is seen as a vital hub for the Swedish art scene, fostering community and supporting local artists.
