Art Moscow represents the largest and most important fair for contemporary art from the 20th to 21st century in Eastern Europe. It was founded in 1995 and is today one of the major art events in the Russian Federation. In the last years the number of participants has risen significantly, in 2007 more than seventy galleries from Russia, Italy, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Austria, Hungary, Latvia, England, Luxemburg, Sweden, United States, Finland, Ukraine and Serbia took part. They altogether presented every part of modern art: video and photography, painting, editions, sculptures and installations. .
The art market in Eastern Europe, and Russia in particular, has virtually exploded during the last years. Particularly Russia today represents a complete different image compared to years ago. The turnovers in economy, stock market and art market have risen at a fast speed. For the first time more money is being invested in the country than abroad. The Russian art market profits from this upcoming trend. Art Moscow offers an interesting and welcoming cultural event to Russia, an offer which the culturally well educated population with a high interest in the arts and its grown prosperity likes to take advantage of.
Art Moscow is always accompanied by eventful program that includes special installations, shows, round-table discussions, conferences, presentations, etc.

ART MOSCOW is the first Russian art fair featuring high quality contemporary art and fully in accordance with international standards. The primary goal is to create an ideal environment for the exhibition of art works in Moscow. ART MOSCOW focuses on new international tendencies since 1990, but welcomes classical Modernism, which greatly influenced the development of 20th-century art. All exhibitors at ART MOSCOW are chosen and invited to attend by a high profile jury of Russian and international experts. ART MOSCOW 2007 is comprised of approximately 70 galleries. The Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation and Moscow City Hall Cultural Committee have offered their support to ART MOSCOW 2007 in a bid to develop the art market. One of the goals of ART MOSCOW is to promote contemporary art among the wider public. The organisers aim to involve state museums, exhibition halls and mass media in the fair.
