Moscow art fair

Published May 30th, 2006


The Moscow World Fine Art Fair, which finished yesterday, looked superb and had the added advantage of a magnificent location in the Manege, the former imperial riding school in the centre of the Russian capital.

The economic free-for-all after the collapse of the Soviet Union created a new class of wealthy entrepreneurs who have been buying Russian art and are already widening their collecting interests. All this should favour the Moscow fair, founded two years ago, but nothing in Russia is ever as simple as it seems.
