Mexico has established itself as the capital of Latin American art, and events such as Zona Maco 2025 are proof of this. Held from 5 to 9 February in Mexico City, this edition brought together 220 galleries from more than 30 countries, attracting an estimated of 81,500 visitors.
Zona Maco art fair is not only notable for its size, but also for its ability to attract collectors, curators and art lovers from all over the world. This year, the participation of Mexican artists and the incorporation of technology in art highlighted the vitality and creativity of art in Mexico.
Mexico City is known for its strong cultural scene, with 188 museums, which makes it the second largest city in the world, behind London. Among the most emblematic sites are the National Museum of Anthropology, the Museum of Modern Art and the Palace of Fine Arts, which offer an integral view of the artistic and cultural heritage of the country.
Mexican art has played a fundamental role in the development of Latin American art. Movements such as muralism, led by artists like Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros and José Clemente Orozco, have influenced generations of creators throughout the region. Today, Mexico remains a hotbed of talent, with contemporary artists addressing social, political and cultural issues, reflecting the country’s diversity and wealth.
In addition to Zona Maco, Mexico City hosts other contemporary art fairs that enrich its artistic scene. Events such as Material and Acme Hall offer alternative platforms where emerging and established artists present innovative proposals, further consolidating Mexico as a benchmark in Latin American art.
Mexico’s importance in the Latin American art scene is reinforced by its ability to attract and promote both emerging and established artists. Fairs such as Zona Maco are not only outstanding for the quality and diversity of the works presented, but also for encouraging dialogue and collaboration between creators, collectors and the general public.
In Zona Maco 2025, Duque Arango Gallery reaffirms its commitment to the dissemination of Latin American art by presenting a careful selection of works that dialogue between tradition and avant-garde. This year, the gallery exhibited pieces by great masters of Latin American art, such as Rufino Tamayo, Leonora Carrington, Fernando Botero, Olga de Amaral, among others, highlighting the diversity and richness of the art of the region.
