The Moscow Gostiny Dvor event hall hosts the ART MOSCOW fair of modern, classical and jewelry art, which unites four sections: Antiques, Design Gallery, Contemporary Art and Jewelry Art.
Having shaped the Russian art market in the late 1990s, ART MOSCOW was revived after the pandemic as a fine arts fair, with the participation of contemporary art galleries, antique dealers, designers and jewelry artists.
The current 21st edition of ART MOSCOW dedicated to the Co-Existence theme, presents art as “an important space of dialogue and a unique form of community, built on the confluence of values and meanings that are different from each other.”
The recently created “Jewelry Street” already occupies a significant part of the event’s space and represents 45 stalls by artist from different regions of Russia. There are items from 30 of the best brands in Russia - both well-known such as Maxim Demidov and Casting House (at the Yakut Diamonds stall) and relatively new.
Compared to last year, eight new companies were added, including many new names: Liza Borzaya (working in a modern, witty style), Vladimir Markin (fruits and plants made of titanium), Evgeniy Danilov (youth segment), Mikhail Osipov (jewelry with brightly colored stones).
The current jewelry section, as usual, features a lot of jewelry with large multi-carat colored stones (Sri Lankan sapphires, Paraiba tourmalines, Yakut diamonds, Brazilian emeralds). Among other things, the Art Deco trend is on a roll, especially in the premium segment - Argentov and Cappulo stand out for their interesting collections in this style. Experts also note trends towards unisex and futurism.
The fair also includes a program on jewelry art. Discussions are held on “Art-fashion” and “Revival of Russian jewelry” (with the participation of experts in the field of luxury jewelry brands) themes. There will be a day dedicated to creative industries with master classes, lectures and dialogues.
