The event directed by Maribel Lopez returned in fine form after coming through unscathed in 2020, when the pandemic was starting in Europe, and programming a more concentrated version in July 2021, inevitably with fewer visitors. The 2022 edition attracted 75,000 in all, including 30,000 collectors and professionals. Considered the leading showcase for both Spanish and Latin American art , the fair brought together 159 galleries, not counting participants in the special section for the 40th anniversary (+ 1) of the Arco, who could not be properly celebrated last year, i.e. nearly 20 galleries, some of which did not exhibit in the general sector.
