Insights WopArt

Michael Gregorjev Murn, director of ART Expo Ljubljana

Paolo Manazza

Founder

What would you say is the DNA of WopArt?

It’s very simple. WopArt it’s an international fair devoted to works on paper. We are still small, we’re only 5 years old and we need to gain more experience. Mostly to build a circuit capable of attracting international collectors and new investors.

What type of galleries are chosen to exhibit, and why?

We mainly choose international galleries, leaving space for emerging realities, especially in the segment of Contemporary art.

What is the price range of pieces? Who is the average buyer?

The average price range ranges from $10,000 to $70,000. Buyers are sophisticated collectors but also new collectors who want to get closer to quality artwork at affordable prices.

Who is the typical attendee of WopArt?

There are important collectors but also people looking for new forms of medium-term investment (from 5 to 10 years).

What strategy – physical as digital – will you adopt in medium to long term?

We are thinking for 2021 of building a hybrid art fair, where the virtual tour can interact with the physical one.

What are two other art fairs you would suggest?

Art Basel and TEFAF in Maastricht
