Art Madrid'26 – Entrefotos phtotography fair helds it\'s XVI edition in La Casa del Reloj (Matadero Madrid)

The slogan with which this fair defines itself immediately reveals the intention of the organizers. This is an event that promotes the encounter and dialogue as equals between buyer-visitor and photographer-artist. The idea is to create a forum for direct communication, "without intermediaries", where the artist, omnipresent beside his work, has the opportunity to explain their work and the spirit of his creations, and the visitor has the opportunity to see face to face the artist hand, his/her intimate and personal universe.

 

The idea began 16 years ago, when the founders of the initiative detected a lack of more open and communicative proposals in the Spanish market. The enhancement of the photo seemed to require not only a recognition by the public, but also to promote discussion and exchange circles to reflect on this technique and contribute to generate a constructive discourse in dialogue with the visitor. And so, in 1998, Luis Baylon, José María Díaz-Maroto, Evaristo Delgado and Pasquale Caprile, at the study of the latter, in Madrid, decided to create EntreFotos. This enthusiastic quartet tried to emulate in our country the photography encounters that were spreading through Europe, and publicize the author photography. Today, after 16 years of uninterrupted call, the show continues to respond to the original idea with which was born.

 

EntreFotos is a gathering of four days devoted to photography and its creators, where all the curious, passionate, unbelievers and skeptics are welcome. Purchase invitations and other indecent proposals will be accepted. This edition features the participation of 35 artists, selected by an independent committee: Beroiz Pérez de la Rada, Alberto Espinosa, Andreas Strobel, Angelica Sole De La Llave, Carlos Regueira, Cristina Esteban Briones, Elena García Guerrero, Gert Voor in't Holt, Iris Encina, Jesus Botaro, Jorge Flores, Julian Ochoa, José Luis López Moral, José Luis Núñez, Juanma Vidal, Juan Sande, Laura Len, María Antonia García de la Vega, Oscar Rivilla, Ariza Pedro Gonzalez, Pepe Huelves, Pilar Pequeño, Ramon Fernandez Rafer Barcia, Rebecca Lebron, Rubén García, Soledad Pulgar, Tino Garcia, Valme de Toledo, Masaur, Maite Sánchez Urueña, Labandeira Jesús Gómez, Xavier Mollà i Revert and Zdenek Tusek. In addition, the exhibition offer is completed with a program of activities which foresees book signings, awards and the chance to see live the process of photographic portrait of the artist's hand Xavier Gómez.

Another point of reference in EntreFotos is the fair's prize in recognition of a career that each year awards to an author of reference. This time the winner is José Luis Mur who is also a photographer, was a founder of Fotocasión mid 70s, in the wake of Madrid, establishment landmark dedicated to the world of photography and is now one of the largest devoted to this discipline in Europe shops.
 
EntreFotos opens this Thursday, November 27th, at 18:30 and will be open until Sunday 30 at the Sala La Lonja de la Casa del Reloj of Matadero Madrid.

Art Madrid’26 presents One Shot Collectors, a program sponsored by One Shot Hotels that returns to the fair -now in its sixth edition- with the goal of making contemporary art collecting more accessible and encouraging new and established collectors alike. The initiative is designed to support both art professionals and new audiences interested in starting or strengthening a collection by providing tools, knowledge, and specialized guidance.

One Shot Collectors promotes an informed and approachable way of acquiring artworks, understanding collecting as a process that requires discernment, context, and time. The program serves as a bridge between the public and the artworks presented at the fair, fostering a confident and well-informed relationship with the art market.



The program is directed by Ana Suárez Gisbert, an art advisor with extensive experience in the art market. Her background includes artwork valuation and appraisal, as well as personalized advisory services throughout the acquisition process, helping participants identify works that align with their interests, budget, and goals. Her approach combines technical rigor with a strong commitment to best practices and sustainability within the art ecosystem.

Art collecting goes beyond the purchase of a single work. It involves an intellectual, aesthetic, and personal journey that connects collectors with the artist’s context, discourse, and creative process. Building a collection means developing a personal point of view, making informed decisions, and allowing the collection to evolve coherently over time, guided by enjoyment and confidence in one’s own taste.

So how do we decide where to focus and how to move forward? Where do we begin? How does one purchase connect to the next? A successful acquisition comes from following personal interests, learning to recognize what truly resonates with us, and staying informed before and throughout the process.

During Art Madrid’26, One Shot Collectors offered a personalized advisory service tailored to different profiles: established collectors, individuals acquiring their first artwork, and companies interested in developing collections aligned with their values and brand identity. The program adapts to a wide range of needs and offers customized tours of the fair based on aesthetic, conceptual, and budget considerations.

Our Art Advisor prepares a curated selection of artworks according to each buyer’s criteria and provides support throughout the negotiation process, offering a professional and strategic perspective. In this way, collecting becomes an informed, coherent, and rewarding experience.

Beginning a collection may stem from a desire for knowledge and aesthetic, social, economic, or even corporate exploration. At Art Madrid, we encourage collecting among individuals and companies interested in patronage and investment. This initiative is aimed at both professionals and contemporary art enthusiasts who wish to start or continue building a collection. Art Madrid presents a wide variety of works across disciplines such as photography, painting, sculpture, and installation, spanning a broad range of price points.

Whether you are an experienced collector, a first-time buyer, or a company seeking to express its values through art, the One Shot Collectors program offers a comprehensive experience.
