The fourth edition is focused on international collecting, joining other renowned fairs such as ARCO Madrid and Just Mad, making Madrid the capital of art during the month of July. To achieve this, Alcolea has opted to expose leading artists at the international and national level. In this sense, more than 300 works by the great masters of the avant-garde and modern art will be presented, including Pierre-Auguste Rodin, Henri Matisse, Alexander Calder, Victor Vasarely, Alberto Giacometti, Tamara de Lempicka, Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Salvador Dalí, Eduardo Chillida, Antoni Tàpies, Miquel Barceló, Antoni Clavé, Pablo Palazuelo, Antonio Saura, Carmen Calvo, José Guerrero, Manolo Valdés, Juan Genovés, Luis Feito and Lita Cabellut, among others. In addition, some of the pieces will be exhibited for the first time in public.
A fair that continues with cocktails in District 41
In parallel to the celebration of the fair, District 41 Barrio de Salamanca, in the hands of Madrid Capital de Moda, has developed a gastronomic proposal together with some of the most representative restaurants in the area. These will offer during the celebration of the fair a special cocktail created for the occasion with which they will show the creativity and know-how of their bartenders during the days of the SAM – Modern Art Hall. To be inspired when preparing these cocktails, the locals have taken as reference the works of the artists exhibited at the fair such as Pierre-Auguste Rodin, Henri Matisse, Alberto Giacometti, Tamara de Lempicka, Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Salvador Dalí, Eduardo Chillida or Antoni Tàpies. Among some of the gastronomic spaces that have joined the initiative we can find Taberna Los Gallos, Cinco Jotas Restaurant, La Bien Aparecida, Lobito de Mar, Cadaqués, Bar Manero and Krápula.
