Art Fair Tokyo began in 2005 and has since become one of Asia's largest and most significant art markets. Held annually in March at the Tokyo International Forum, it features a diverse range of artwork and genres, including painting, sculpture, photography and digital art, from local and international artists. This year's event, which marks its 19th edition, will feature 139 exhibitors ranging from local galleries to international powerhouses.
Art fairs like this are generally geared towards commercial art galleries, dealers, curators and collectors. As such, it also functions as a networking event for those involved in the commercial art market. In the past, the fair also showcased established names such as Julian Opie and Kaws. Nevertheless, this is the time and place to discover new and emerging artists.
Tickets can be purchased online through the event website.
