0 Comments

 
ART FAIR TOKYO is the largest international art fair in Japan, held in Tokyo every spring. Over 150 galleries from Japan and overseas participate in the fair, offering works for display and sale in a wide variety of genres including antiques, crafts, Nihonga (Japanese painting), modern and contemporary art. During the event, there are historically significant Japanese art works on display as well as special exhibitions attempting to communicate the “now” of Tokyo’s art scene and market, and related symposia and parties held at locations around the city. The international and diverse art market platform, Art Fair Tokyo, is a place not only for art fans and art industry people, but also ambassadors from various countries, government officials, and business leaders to exchange information and engage socially. (56,300 attendees in 2016)
Art has caused social innovations in many ways, and impacted a variety of industries over the years. Recently,    the    evolution    of    technology    and diversification of media has caused art to cross over fields to get closer to people in every area.

The key visual for ART FAIR TOKYO 2017 is a graphic with a feeling of three-dimensionality that expresses the main theme of, Art is Alive: Getting Closer to Art, Art Getting Closer. The message of “Getting Closer to Art, Art Getting Closer” is printed with a bold layout.
In the same way that art has helped to innovate society and continued to influence a wide range of industries, fashion has created social movements and made a great impact on our lives. In recent years, these two distinct worlds have started to fuse and overlap through collaborations between artists and luxury brands, and art museum exhibitions with a focus on fashion.

Inspired by the theme of living close to art, ART FAIR TOKYO 2017 will partner with Tokyo Girls Collection 2017 Spring/Summer, the pioneering Japanese fashion show for accessible apparel. This partnership between art and fashion will connect different generations, offering opportunities for younger consumers to come into contact with stimulating works of art.
