Close to two years on from director Thomas Hug's inglorious departure, the Swiss fair garners optimism from galleries participating in its 13th edition.
Ascending the escalator at Palexpo, the partner and host of Art Genève 2025, the visitor is met with wide aisles, Eames lounge chairs galore, and a quirky ‘smoking section’ signalled by a giant pink Magritte pipe.
With 82 international galleries and some 20 institutional projects, Art Genève, a salon-style art fair that is both intimate and open to the international scene, takes place for the 13th time in 2025.
As we approached the center of Monaco, the driver who picked me up at the airport pointed out one of the largest yachts in the world, dwarfing all its companions lining the main harbor.
Upon ascending the escalator of the Palexpo complex, visitors to this edition of artgenève were greeted by a bright sea of suspended silk sheets, as if entering an exotic travel or esoterica fair.
