The 6th Korea International Art Fair (KIAF), held May 9-13, 2007 in COEX, was a great success with the attendance of 64,000 art lovers home and abroad, as well as an increased number of participating galleries up to 208 (116 local and 92 foreign) from 18 countries. By actively organizing guest country programs, artist discovery programs, and academic programs, in addition to providing an art market for the trading of artworks for collectors, KIAF2007 also played the role of an art festival, where art collectors, artists, art professionals, and art aficionados alike could rendezvous and closely exchange ideas. This year, the 7th annual KIAF 2008 moves its exhibition dates to September 19th - 23rd. At KIAF 2008, 218 leading galleries (116 local and 102 foreign) from 20 countries will introduce the highlights of modern and contemporary art actively unfolding at home and abroad. Switzerland has been appointed as the guest country of KIAF2008 and prominent Swiss galleries will participate. Both KIAF and AGS (Art Galleries Switzerland) will closely collaborate to organize a Swill Artist Show and other guest country programs, which are expected to be a platform on which to present Swiss culture and art in Korea. In addition, through co-promotion with the Busan Biennale, KIAF2008 embracing regional art and culture, will solidify its goal once again of joining the ranks of the truly prestigious international art fairs of the world.
