Mar 8, 2024 – Arco Madrid, which is billed as the leading art fair in the Spanish-speaking world, has returned for its 43rd edition this week in Spain’s capital. Sales have been slow but steady during the first two professional days, on Wednesday and Thursday, according to exhibitors and industry insiders at the IFEMA Madrid, but that has not deterred some from proposing that the city could play an even more ambitious role in the international art market.
ARCO presents its colour for 2025
Back in 1982, the first edition of ARCO used the 3 primary colours on its logo. This would become the basis of its advertising design in the following years. In the early 1990s, ARCO’s image and catalogue gradually incorporated different colours into their designs in the projects of the guest countries, for example: red and black in 2004 (Greece), yellow and pink in ARCO 2006 (Austria), pistachio green in ARCO 2009 (India). But it was not until 2017 that ARCO presented a specific colour for the edition: red.
ARCOmadrid and ARCOlisboa 2025 will be using the colour #BFBFFF (Pantone 2705 U) as one of the main graphic elements of their 44th and 8th editions, respectively.
