Atelier Casa Falconieri

Casa Falconieri visits the fair with a large group of Sardinian artists: Gabriella Locci, Roberto Puzzu, Antonio Mallus, Rosanna Rossi, Adelaide Lussu, Anna Saba, Alberto Marci, Veronica Paretta, Veronica Gambula, Andrea Spiga, Mauro Rombi, Paolo Marchi, P & B , Francesco Alpigiano, Vicenzo Grosso, Veronica Fadda, Angelino Fiori, Giovanna Secchi, Salvatore Ligios, Paola Dessy, and editions of Simonetta Castia. During the five days of the fair and continuously, these creators will make their work available to the public to teach, explain and help to know how the engraving technique works. A printing machinery that matches perfectly with the ideals of Casa Falconieri and its work of disseminating the work on paper. With them, with their work, they reflect the evolution of an art sector in continuous development and symbiosis with sister disciplines such as photography, the artist's book, the work on paper... with the ultimate desire to change the vision that many have on the graphic art and printmaking, an inexhaustible source of inspiration.

Atelier Casa Falconieri

During the fair, the "Book of Artist - Casa Falconieri / Art Madrid" Award will be granted to one of the participating artists in this 13th edition. It is an artistic residence conceived as a 15-day experimentation workshop at Casa Falconieri Laboratory located in Sardinia, for the prize-winner to create graphic work or an artist's book. A trip to the cultural and artistic heritage of the area, a meeting point with other artists, each with its origins and its histories, to develop new projects together. It is about sharing experiences but also about carrying out a personal investigation on the transformations of the artistic creation sector, its relationship system, in search of new more sustainable and human methods.

A committee formed by professionals from Casa Falconieri and Art Madrid will choose the winner among the artists participating in the fair whose object or motive is the work on paper in its different forms. The award will be granted on Sunday 25th at 6pm, in the stand D1 of Casa Falconieri.

The catalog features a curated selection of the works presented in this edition, along with the most relevant details of the event, making it an essential tool for engaging with the fair’s key figures and exploring the defining elements of today’s art scene.

In 2026, Art Madrid celebrates its 21st edition, further establishing itself as a leading event within Spain’s cultural sector. From March 4 to 8, the Galería de Cristal of the Palacio de Cibeles will once again become a meeting point for galleries, collectors, artists, and contemporary art enthusiasts.

Over the past twenty-one years, the fair has evolved into a dynamic and ever-expanding platform, fostering diversity in artistic languages, techniques, and discourses. In this edition, the Galleries Program brings together around 35 exhibitors from more than seven countries, offering a representative overview of the most recent developments in contemporary creation.

The Art Madrid ’26 catalog serves as a key publication for discovering the work of this edition’s galleries and artists —marked by experimentation and a plurality of perspectives— while also documenting the conceptual axes that shape the fair. As part of the Parallel Program, INHABITING THE EPHEMERAL: A Reflection on the “Species” of Spaces proposes a reflection on space, relationships, and shared experience, expanding the understanding of the fair beyond its commercial dimension and highlighting its cultural and experiential significance.

In addition, the catalog presents the initiatives that complete the program, such as the Open Booth dedicated to emerging creation, the Nebrija Space in collaboration with Nebrija University, the Performance Series “Open Infinite. What the Body Remembers,” the One Shot Collectors Program, and the Patronage Program, reaffirming the fair’s commitment to supporting, mediating, and accompanying contemporary art at every stage.

We invite you to discover more about Art Madrid ’26 through the catalog of its 21st edition — a publication that, beyond serving as documentary memory, becomes a cartography of the present artistic moment and an open door to new ways of inhabiting contemporary art.
