Art Madrid'26 – GREY SKULL, AN ART WORK OF OKUDA ​​FOR ART MADRID'18

Art Madrid gives its visitors the opportunity to acquire an exclusive art work of Okuda San Miguel, Grey Skull, signed and numbered. An icon of urban art that you can take home.

As every year, Art Madrid chooses an artist whose work represents innovation, experimentation and the search for new plastic languages to be the Guest Artist of the fair. In past editions, the fair had exceptional names such as Ouka Leele, Riera i Aragó or the essential Carmen Calvo and for the 13th edition, a magic figure without a doubt, the fair wanted to have an universal symbol signed by the hand of one of the more international urban artists, Okuda San Miguel.

Okuda San Miguel

Grey Skull, 2018

17-ink hand-printed by Inkvisible Prints on 220 g pink fabriano paper

70 x 50cm

Representative of the so-called "new contemporary art" for Okuda San Miguel the skull is an artistic element that has been repeating throughout his career. Even before entering into his characteristic geometric world, the skull was already there, so Okuda's own style has been developed in parallel to how this historical icon has changed in his works. This skull is also a metaphor of capitalism and its tools of indoctrination from the earliest childhood, and so the image is associated with the image of Mickey Mouse. A piece that encompasses an entire philosophy of life and a declaration of intentions.

ART MADRID’ 26: 21 YEARS OF CONTEMPORARY ART


Discover all the information about the artists and galleries participating in the 21st edition of Art Madrid. 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.
