In this video, Rafael Lanfranco shares valuable lessons from his experiences at numerous art fairs around the world — though "7 Art Fairs" is more of a metaphor than an exact count. His journey began with a small fair in a shopping mall in Lima, where he connected with a gallerist who later took him to Singapore. The Singapore show was a success, leading him to Tokyo, where he faced the challenges of a more conservative collector base.
In Miami, during Miami Art Week, Rafa explored multiple fairs, discovering new opportunities that better suited his style. Fast forward to 2023, he showcased his work at Rossana Orlandi’s space during Milan Design Week, which, although competitive, opened many doors for him. By 2024, he was exhibiting at SuperStudio in Milan, leading to an invitation to Pitti Immagine Uomo in Florence.
Each art fair taught Rafa new lessons, expanded his audience, and brought valuable exposure and sales. This video highlights the importance of a strategic approach to art fairs for artists at any stage of their careers. I hope you find it helpful!
