Five Highlights from Mexico City’s Zona Maco Art Fair

The brainchild of Monterrey native Zélika García, Mexico City’s Zona Maco art fair is in the midst of a 20th anniversary celebration that looks boldly into the future, but also spotlights longtime supporters who’ve contributed to its exponential growth. Proudly billed as the “largest art fair in Latin America,” Zona Maco comprises sprawling sections devoted to contemporary art, photography, design, antiquities, and books — not to mention pop-up restaurants and bars aplenty. While dramatic, photo-ready installations have long been a Zona Maco mainstay, the 20th edition brought them to the forefront via “Forma” — a special program that invited fair veterans to install large-scale works in the convention center’s maze-like hallways. The list below, pared down from hundreds of exhibitors, highlights five galleries that made memorable statements at this year’s fair, which is taking place from February 7-11 at Centro Citibanamex.
