Zona Maco 2025 opens in Mexico City with strong international participation and positive sales outlook

Zona Maco 2025 opened in Mexico City, featuring 200 galleries from 29 countries. The fair continues to highlight local galleries while expanding its international presence. This year, about half of the exhibitors in the contemporary section are from abroad. International galleries, like Pace Gallery, showcased notable works, including pieces by Julian Schnabel. Many reported strong sales, with some first-time exhibitors also gaining attention for their unique offerings. The fair emphasized artists from the Global South, attracting interest from collectors. A key development was the postponement of proposed tariffs on Mexican goods, announced just before the fair. This change created a more optimistic atmosphere, with some galleries using it as a selling point to encourage purchases.
