New Spaces, New Premises, Halls 4 & 5.1
The leading national and international, modern and contemporary galleries will be exhibiting in Hall 4. Another new highlight to discover in Hall 4, the Design section that will bring to light the close links between fine art and design. Located immediately nearby, the newly built Hall 5.1 will host three sections of the fair: Perspectives, Future Quake (a selection of new emerging international galleries), and the area devoted to Prints.
