Emergent Markets
Moderating: Mónica Alvarez Careaga (independent Curator)

Guests: Alexandra Pinho (Director of BES arte), Joe Berardo (President of the Berardo Museum), Lourdes Fernandez (ARCO's director) and Marina Diez-Cascón (Swab's director).

Subject: In the last years the panorama of the contemporary art has attended the sprouting and the consolidation of new markets. Russia, China and India will happen to occupy outstanding positions, due to s or capacity of attraction in the West. An increase of the curiosity and the acquisition around works of the artists coming from those latitudes, reflected in the increase of its presence in the art fairs, confirms and consolidates that tendency. To what extent the Iberian market also reflects it, will be one of the subjects to debate.
