selected quotes and sources
"Tbilisi is sustaining its tradition of hospitality, intellectual independence, and cozy bohemianism. As with all good fairs, visitors came for the art, but stayed for the parties!"
“Tbilisi Art Fair, which celebrated its 3rd edition last week, is a privileged observatory on the Global South”.
"The most successful edition of the fair…with prices ranging from 100 to 35 thousand euros it's the kind of event where you can buy without first consulting your financial
advisor."
“The event also contributed to the rediscovery of the country's artistic past.”
"The talented young art scene honored at the Tbilisi Art Fair."
"Tbilisi Art Fair rolls out the red carpet to the hottest art news."
“The outlook for Georgia’s art scene is very positive, it has developed quickly over the last few years.”
“The fair is particularly strong in the photography sector.”
“Georgian art is going strong, and is being discovered and rediscovered.”
“The third edition of the Tbilisi Art Fair, which is taking place in Georgia, is one event where a person would wish to spend enough time. It revitalises the local and international art scene by broadening opportunities for artistic scenes, particularly in the Caucasus, Central, and Eastern Europe, and by providing access to artists who
are difficult to find in central art markets.”
