Exhibitors and prizes of the 32nd edition

Artissima 2025—the only fair in Italy with an exclusive focus on contemporary art, produced with the support of Main Partner Intesa Sanpaolo—announces the galleries and the artists that will take part in its 32nd edition, directed by Luigi Fassi.

From Friday to Sunday November  2–31 the luminous spaces of the Oval in Torino will welcome the four flagship sections of the fair—Main Section, New Entries, Monologue/Dialogue and Art Spaces & Editions—and the 3 curated sections—Present Future, Back to the Future and Disegni—with the participation of 176 Italian and international galleries, including 63 monographic and curated projects.

The theme of Artissima 2025 is Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth, inspired by the eclectic figure of Richard Buckminster Fuller and his iconic 1969 book of the same name. For the fourth consecutive year, Artissima draws inspiration from a visionary thinker to spark a collective reflection. Through art, its community, and the plurality of its languages, the fair aims to provide tools to interpret and navigate the complexities of the present.

The exibiting galleries arrive from 36 countries and 5 continents. 

The international profile of the fair in 2025 is marked by a strong presence of galleries from Eastern Europe, as well as from Central and South America.
