The 5th edition of the event dedicated to the modern and contemporary art will take place from 15th to 17th May, 2020, at the historical and picturesque palace of Real Collegio in Lucca, inside the ancient city walls of one of the most important and artistic place in Italy.
The frescoed halls and prestigious spaces will host Lucca Art Fair to welcome collectors and art lovers from all over world for three days and live a new “artistic experience”, as a journey through art that will start from the beating heart of the city.
The monumental complex of the Real Collegio, arranged on two floors, will be the unique and exclusive frame of a journey among different artistic realities, where history and future generations communicate with each other.
"The choice of the Real Collegio as the new venue of the event - explains Paolo Batoni, director of Lucca Art Fair – wants to respond to the requests of an audience increasingly looking for a strong emotional and artistic experience. The new project proposal is to collocate contemporary artworks in a historic building in the center of Lucca: the aim is to exalt a virtuous contamination between contemporary and ancient. Special thanks - continues Batoni - go to all the staff of Lucca Crea ,
who has accompanied us in the last editions with professionalism and passion. We have shared a common love for art and we hope to have the opportunity to work together again in the future".
The Main Section has been reconfirmed with the participation of galleries consolidated on the international scene, to offer collectors a selection of artworks ranging from modern, post-war and contemporary art.
