Highly attended, met with positive feedback, an international audience, a parade of celebrities on preview day, and above all, many high-quality booths. In the modern art section, there are works that would look perfectly at home in museums, while the contemporary section features major international galleries presenting fresh and high-level proposals in the halls of fieramilanocity.
Excellent work by director Alessandro Rabottini. That said, to make further progress in the future, improvements could be made to the fair's spatial organization, the curating of certain booths (some — perhaps too many — suffered from obvious overexposure: of course, galleries attend fairs to sell, but the "market stall" effect should be carefully avoided), research (this magazine strongly believes that art is culture as well as market), and communication with the public (the website lacks a comprehensive catalog of the artists on display).Still, the overall impression is positive.
And as Finestre sull’Arte now does for all major art fairs, here is the much-anticipated list of the ten booths not to be missed (this time, with four special mentions as well), presented below in strict alphabetical order.

1. G.A.M. Galleria d’Arte Maggiore
G.A.M. Galleria d’Arte Maggiore takes part in the Generations section, which stages dialogues between artists from different — sometimes distant — generations.
The Bologna-based gallery has curated a selection of works by Giacomo Balla (Turin, 1871 – Rome, 1958), among which the unmissable Futurist Cats stand out, in dialogue with the works of Richard Rezac (Nebraska, 1952), presented by Isabella Bortolozzi.
