Lugano, 9th September 2019 – Lugano Exhibition Centre is getting ready to host the fourth edition of WopArt - Work on Paper #fair. Founded by Paolo Manazza, the international #fair is primarily devoted to works on paper. It will be taking place over an exhibition area of 7000 m2 with 102 exhibitors from 16 countries. The gallery space is divided into 4 sections, 7 collateral exhibitions and an extensive schedule of events and talks that will run from 19th to 22nd September 2019.

Since its first inauguration in #lugano in 2016, the #fair has grown exponentially with more and more participation of national and international galleries over the past three years. This proves that the #fair is focused on a globally popular segment of the market is inevitably destined to grow.

At the fourth edition, the #fair will be held over 7000 m2 for the first time - the entire exhibition area is spread all over the fair's pavilions - while a selection of exhibitors is chosen by the scientific committeechaired byPaolo Manazza, a painter and journalist specialising in art economics, and Mimmo Di Marzio, a journalist, critic, and #contemporaryart curator. It offers an extensive overview of works made exclusively on paper consisting of different techniques, languages and periods in history. This guarantees the exhibition in obtaining an across-the-board appeal.

Among all the new features, the technical-organisational partnership with BolognaFiere Spa group - Italy's first in terms of turnover achieved abroad with more than 80 events worldwide - and the crucial support of Alberto Rusconi, an internationally known art collector and businessman have decided to invest in the WopArt project.
