Apertura 2012

In September of 2012, Arte_madrid (Madrid Art Galleries Association) organised APERTURA 2012, the joint opening of the new art season at Madrid’s major galleries.

This third edition included exciting changes, such as visits to the homes of some of Madrid’s most renowned gallery owners, walking tours around the city neighbourhoods where most of the main galleries concentrate, as well as guided tours to the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía and the private collection of Fundación Santander. In this way, APERTURA sought to consolidate itself as a key event in Madrid’s artistic agenda. As in previous years, the programme included a number of activities in art galleries that gathered a large following.

APERTURA is an absolute must-visit and a wonderful occasion to bring collectors, artists and other professionals of the art world in contact with the general public. It enlivens and injects energy into the local cultural scene and the contemporary art market.

In this year’s edition Ivorypress participated with the exhibition Zaha Hadid. Beyond Boundaries, Art and Design.
