Positive outlook<\/h2>\n
This year, Tokyo Modern hopes to continue Renfrew\u2019s stated goal of creating a \u201cfair of global importance.\u201d Last year\u2019s fair was a promising first step. \u201cWe\u2019ve never seen such a large space in Japan for an art fair dedicated to contemporary art to see works,\u201d said Junko Shimada of Gallery Side 2 in Tokyo, who also attended the fair. \u201cFor local audiences, the interaction with international galleries is exciting. Tokyo Modern has put a lot of effort into inviting international collectors, curators, and galleries. It provides a forum in Tokyo that was not possible before.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shimada added that as the fair continues to grow, it is already playing an important role in shaping Tokyo’s status as a global art hub, describing the fair as “a local fair but open to global markets and audiences”. <\/p>\n
Tokyo Modern\u2019s impact extends beyond its immediate geographic scope, fostering deep, engaging conversations about the future of contemporary art in Japan. Mizuma notes that Tokyo Modern is unique compared to other Japanese art fairs: \u201cTokyo Modern has so many well-known European and American galleries\u2026 With so many Japanese galleries participating, it\u2019s the first truly international fair in Japan.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pace Gallery\u2019s Samanthe Rubell noted that the exhibition comes at a time when Japanese art is coming to the fore internationally. \u201cAs contemporary and modern Japanese art becomes increasingly visible on the international stage\u2014we look forward to our inaugural Jiro Takamatsu exhibition at the gallery in New York this fall\u2014our international artists are excited to exhibit here and connect with Japan\u2019s rich and thoughtful culture, collectors, and curators,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
With a carefully curated selection of domestic and international galleries, a rich events and education program, and a strong commitment to fostering intercontinental relationships, Tokyo Contemporary Art Fair promises to become a major force in the global art world. As the fair unfolds, many will be watching to see if the enthusiasm is real. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
