Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Madrid  

The first fashion event of the year, together with the September edition, makes Madrid the best showcase for Spanish fashion, giving industry professionals a foretaste of the season's top trends, on this occasion autumn-winter 2012-2013. As a major change to this 55th edition, it is to have a new name and positioning: the name Cibeles disappears and the Madrid catwalk will now join the calendar of fashion weeks sponsored by Mercedes-Benz in other cities such as New York and Berlin. 1 to 5 February. 

Marc Chagall

This is the first major retrospective in Spain on the Russian artist's work. The Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum will be showing pieces from the painter's early years and from the period he spent in Paris. Meanwhile the Caja Madrid Foundation will be exhibiting work from Chagall's American period. 14 February to 20 May.

 

ARCO 2012

From 15 to 19 February, the Ifema trade fair showground is hosting the 31st edition of the International Contemporary Art fair of Madrid, a meeting point for gallery owners, collectors and the general public alike. This year's programme introduces a new approach: each of the 160 galleries will feature one artist and the fair will provide special coverage of their work. The event will include three curated programmes: Solo Projects: Focus Latin America; Opening: Young European Galleries; and Focus The Netherlands (guest country).
