'Art is a path to human development'.
´I have always believed that art offers us moments of contemplation and admiration. At the same time, what we contemplate resonates with us — it is a gateway to our identity. It is a tool for self-exploration, enabling us to see things through different eyes and reconnect with what is essential´. Rose Marie Bellemur
Art Market Budapest (hereafter referred to as the 'Fair') and its supplementary programmes focus on 21st-century art, paying particular attention to emerging artists and trends that inspire the global art world. While actively promoting lesser-known geographical sources of high-quality artistic content internationally, the Fair welcomes artworks and exhibitors from all countries, provided they meet the high standards and innovative or trendsetting character set out by Art Market Budapest.
The fair is built on a comprehensive arts programme, with the high-quality exhibition content presented by our selected exhibitors forming its central element. We rely on your expertise and dedicated cooperation to make Art Market Budapest a sophisticated and attractive showcase of contemporary art.
Central and Eastern Europe’s leading international art fair combines inspiring artistic content from emerging regions in and beyond Europe, as well as from the progressive new generation of artists from the established West, in an efficient and thought-provoking way. With exhibitors arriving from over 40 countries on five continents and an annual audience of over 30,000 international visitors, it is clear that there is a strong demand in the art world for this artistic platform to breathe new life into the European and global art scene.
Past Exhibition
BAP Gallery's "Making Artists Known" series showcases contemporary artists who are shaping the current cultural landscape by providing a live sensory experience.
Fidel Olaya is known for his works created over long months, perhaps even years, during which he collects leaves, flowers and all the natural materials he finds in Ibiza's forests and fields. These materials then resonate with the artist, giving meaning to his new individual stories. Fidel carefully and calmly composes each piece in its vibrant environment.
Olaya has long challenged conventional ideas about the treatment of his meticulous work, eventually developing a unique technique. Approaching each surface as a potential space, he creates stories in the light lamps he calls them. BAP Gallery's "Making Artists Known" series presents contemporary artists shaping the current cultural landscape, providing a live sensory impression. He meticulously selects, prepares and paints the wood before building the lamp structure and moving on to the final creation and assembly process.
In this episode of Meet the Artists, Grosse welcomes Art Basel to his custom-designed Berlin studio to discuss the solitude, scale and impulse underlying his creative process. He also discusses the pieces he created in his New Zealand studio, which, once rolled up and shipped back to Berlin, are displayed in exhibitions and fairs after a brief stay in his studio. Contemplating the twenty lit lamps is to enter a space of harmony and stillness, as the exhibition is aptly titled. He meticulously selects, prepares, paints and builds the wooden lamp structures before moving on to the final creation and assembly process.
The artist Fidel's project, 'Stillness', is a temporary exhibition running from 4 to 31 May 2025. More information is available here.
'These images have been reflected through this word, and it is also their emanation. It is May in a garden. The plant world is awakening, and the spring sap follows its vertical path from earth to sky, renewing life. This is why the exhibition refers to another movement that also emerges from nature: Stillness.
This movement has settled, almost by gravity, on all the plant elements we see in the compositions, evoking atmospheres of serenity that also take hold within us". Fidel Olaya
