From 19 to 22 September 2013, the first edition of the SUMMA Art Fair, a new fair dedicated to contemporary art and photography, will be held in Madrid.

The organisation of SUMMA coincides with APERTURA 2013, an open day weekend for galleries in Madrid, which will be organised by gallery association Arte Madrid.

The event will welcome 70 exhibitors and include the MadridFoto fair in its programming, which will itself be celebrating its fifth edition. Along with MadridFoto, a section titled UP will be reserved for galleries that have been around for less than 7 years, and another section will be devoted to Design.

In addition, two programmes titled Transversal and Transversal Emergente will feature the works of a large panel of artists, of all ages and practices, creating original links between the different sections of SUMMA.

Five gallery owners will form the selection committee of the first edition of the SUMMA Art Fair: Baudoin Lebon (Paris), Espacio Mínimo (Madrid), Filomena Soares (Lisbonne), Mor Charpentier (Paris), and Oliva Arauna (Madrid).
