…Milan becomes the temporary capital of the fine art
and antiques world… this is the sixth edition of the
Milan International Fine Art & Antiques Show, now known
universally as MIFAS… “universally” not
out of chauvinism but because, while established only relatively
recently, it has quickly gained media attention and an audience
of international dimensions. The secret of its rapid rise
as one of the main events of the antiquarian world is down
to many factors: its excellent organisation, the warm welcome
it provides, the elegant setting provided by the corridors
of this neoclassical palace on the Soane, the rigorous selection
criteria …applied by the scientific committee, and of
course the quality of the exhibitors and the pieces on display…
These factors give it a strong appeal to the many thousands
of visitors, but also to the gallery owners who derive so
much prestige from taking part …A unique cornucopia
of marvels and emotions, recognised as the key event of “The
Milan Spring Art Exhibitions”.
Roberto M. Benetti, AD
…Sophisticated range of exhibits…
only recently established, but already a major event thanks
to the excellence both of the dealers and the wide range of
high-quality items on offer.
AD ANTIQUES
From the moment the doors opened, the exhibition
took off towards the skies and it is now firmly established
as one of the events that really count. MIFAS welcomed fifty
excellent exhibitors, half of whom were from Europe and America…
Their leitmotif - Authenticity, Quality, Conservation and
Origin, with the stamp of a special committee of scholars.
Gloria Ehret, WELTKUNST
…the exhibitors, all highly respected
and half of them from abroad… As usual the pieces on
display, some of museum quality, are guaranteed by a scientific
committee…
Ada Masoero, IL GIORNALE DELL’ARTE
MIFAS…an important event, and not just
for Milan, because it has a truly international feel. The
quality of the works contributed by the participating Galleries,
both Italian and international, have lent the exhibition the
look of a real museum.
Erdman Neumeister, FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE
ZEITUNG
From Rubens to Magritte…very high-quality
pieces…internationally renowned dealers and historic
artists…fifty galleries from all over the world…
Carlotta Lombardo, IL CORRIERE DELLA
SERA
…a constantly growing number of contributors
from outside Italy…with the intention of building a
genuinely authentic showcase, moving the focus of the event
towards the collector. And that determination has brought
us a 2004 event that is rich in works of art… An intriguing
route to take.
Laura Torretta, IL SOLE 24 ORE
…MIFAS raises the concept of a trade fair
to new heights of quality, and has become a part of Milan’s
artistic tradition. “The Milan Spring Art Exhibitions”,
as this series of commercial, cultural and artistic events
is often known, has brought new life to the capital of Lombardy…
turning the season into a unique occasion of international
appeal.
L’INFORMATORE EUROPEO
…The Italian trade fair most eagerly awaited
by collectors of ancient art…fifty galleries (over half
of them foreign) and eight publishers presenting… masterpieces
from foreign collections which have finally returned to Italy.
Carlotta Lombardo, VIVI MILANO –
IL CORRIERE DELLA SERA
The primary imperative is quality, which is
guaranteed by a scientific committee of the first order, made
up of museum directors, art historians and academics…
There are three main priorities: high quality, sophisticated
collecting, and a marketplace with an international outlook.
ANTIQUARIATO
MIFAS…a commercial and cultural event
which has restored the city’s status as an international
capital of the art market, and of collecting and research…
this year, once again, it will include Europe’s fifty
most respected galleries.
Domenico Montalto, AVVENIRE
In terms of quality of pieces exhibited, the
event is the second most important in Europe… fully
deserves its role as part of the project baptised “The
Milan Spring Art Exhibitions”…a select and authoritative
showcase…essential forum for art experts and museum
curators…major focus for this country’s art market…
LA PREALPINA
“Millionaire” art…What a spectacle!
It will make your eyes shine and, if you can afford it, will
empty your wallet. The MIFAS – now confirmed as the
big art date of spring in Milan. With the inevitable society
glitter: for the vernissage…very exclusive invitations…decoration
signed Armani/Fiori and the buffet by Toulà…Works
of art that, generally speaking, are only to be found in museums
and, if their curators have enough money, often stay there
too.
Alberto Mattioli, IL GIORNO
…the most prestigious Italian event for collectors and
connoisseurs… Italian and foreign visitors…investments
of indisputable financial and cultural value…thanks
to the international prestige of this event…growing
success…a veritable museum…in the original sense
of the word: a museum as it was conceived of during the Renaissance,
where the art of display is inseparable from that of collection
and acquisition.

…Fifty exhibitors selected from among
the world’s leading antiquarians…the pieces displayed,
often of uniquely high quality, make this a kind of temporary
museum set up for just one week…
