Artgenève is a new art exhibition whose aim is to establish an artistic platform in the Suisse Romande - at the very forefront of contemporary art, modern art and design - which pays homage to the requirements of the Lake Geneva region's many collectors and art-lovers. Artgenève welcomes internationally renowed galleries and also devotes a large area to public and private collections, as well as independent spaces and curators, acknowledging the dynamism created through dialogue between institutions and dealers. The third edition will be held from 30th January to 2nd February 2014, a key period for luxury tourism in Geneva and strategic dates in the art fair calendar. Taking place in a refined atmosphere and on human scale, Artgenève is a true reflection of Geneva itself, a pleasant city of international renown. The exhibition's architecture and layout draw upon this diversity as their inspiration. The compact nature of Artgenève makes it easy to visit, and helps promote the exchange of ideas between exhibitors and art-lovers.
