Art Fair Tokyo 2007

Tokyo International Forum
Finished
Ranging from cutting-edge contemporary works, modern painting, and uniquely Japanese art such as nihonga and ukiyoe, to antique art and other traditional art forms, Art Fair Tokyo transcends genres to bring the most exquisite art to connoisseurs who demand true quality. It is Japan's largest art fair, showcasing about one hundred galleries that have passed a rigorous selection process. In today's Japan, people have become aware of the importance of spiritual richness that cannot be obtained through material affluence. In keeping with Tokyo's role as a global cultural leader, Art Fair Tokyo aims to enrich lives by conveying the wonder of art to a wide range of people from experts, collectors, and art lovers, to newcomers who buy their first work of art. Art Fair Tokyo encourages anyone to encounter the art world and bring art into your life.

A guided tour of this art fair will be conducted for those who are visiting an art fair for the first time, or looking for advice on buying a piece of art. Nationally and internationally active art writers, artists, collectors navigate you through the fair for about 45 minutes. Please refer to the homepage for more details.
