« MONACO ART WEEK » from 26 to 29 April 2018 Over the years, the Principality of Monaco has hosted an increasing number of varied artistic events. Home to art galleries and internationally renowned auction houses, it has become an important place in the art world with its fairs, exhibitions and cultural events. Galleries and auction houses established in the Principality have chosen to join forces around the same objective: to promote their rich and diverse activities, and contribute to Monaco’s cultural reach on the local, regional and international scene. The MONACO ART WEEK association is the result of this shared desire. The first event initiated by the association is MONACO ART WEEK. It will take place between 26 and 29 April 2018. All the Principality’s neighbourhoods will be involved in the event, in conjunction with the artmonte-carlo fair at the Grimaldi Forum and Nomad at La Vigie. At the same time, the Ballets de Monte-Carlo and the Festival Printemps des Arts de Monte-Carlo will reveal their new productions at the Grimaldi Forum. During this bustling period, when Monaco takes centre stage, the intention is to appeal to all those who have come to discover and nourish their passion for the arts, whether they are novices, onlookers or experienced art-lovers.

Alfredo Pallesi was born in Bologna. Coming from a family
of antique dealers, he opened his first cabinet in Rome in 1968.
In 1981, he began his collaboration with Finarte Casa d’Aste at
the Rome headquarters. After a few years, he became General
Manager and took care of the headquarters of Milan, then
Madrid.
In 2002, he resigned from Finarte and opened a gallery in
Rome at 54 Via Margutta. He returns to his former activity
by dedicating himself to the sale of paintings and sculptures
from the 17th to the 20th century. He participates in various
exhibitions including the Biennial of Florence and Rome. In
2011, he moved the gallery to the Principality of Monaco where
he opened at Park Palace.
VIEW AND LANDSCAPE OF ITALY
The period of the nineteenth century is characterized by travels
throughout Europe, which are much easier than in the previous
century.
Italy becomes the unavoidable destination for foreign painters.
Rome, Florence, Venice, Naples and their surroundings are
greatly frequented by artists from all over Europe, as evidenced
by their innumerable travel diaries.
There are many paintings with the subject of Italian’s views

NIKI DE SAINT PHALLE,
« Last night I had a dream »
Born in 1930, Niki de Saint Phalle, who started out as a model
then trained as an actor, exorcised the traumas of her childhood
through her art. An iconic figure among the female artists of the
second half of the 20th century, she was struck by the fantastical
power of Antonio Gaudi’s work, whom she discovered the work
for the first time in Park Güell in 1955. The end of the 1960s marked
her desire to bring together, in large sculpted assemblies, the
various figures drawn from her dreams and vivid imagination.

Its evolution in the 21st century is owed to not only the increased number of artists in the homeland and in the diaspora, but also to the Iranian curators and institutes whose involvement in the field have been immeasurable. In collaboration with the Art Monte-Carlo 2018, Magic of Persia (A London-based Art Charity Foundation) will present a panel discussion and an exhibition titled Contemporary Iran. The panel aims to discuss the contemporary condition of Iranian art both locally and globally from various aspects encompassing educational, artistic and economical angles. This exhibition presents a historiographical review of the formation of new art in Iran. The conference will be held on Sunday 29 April at 6p.m. at the Grimaldi Forum.

these two artists highlight the invisible and let the spectator

Fabrizio Moretti opened his gallery in Florence in 1999 with the
inaugural exhibition From Bernardo Daddi to Giorgio Vasari and
soon established a respected reputation in the field of Italian
Old Masters. The gallery works closely with the most notable
scholars and public institutions and is known for its dedication
to research and for handling works of the highest quality as well
as for making this particular area more accessible to private
collectors. The London seat of the gallery opened in January
2005 as a point of reference for collectors seeking a confidential
approach.
In 2017, with Monaco’s longstanding commitment to arts and
culture, Fabrizio Moretti decided to open a new gallery space
at Park Palace in Monte Carlo, Monaco, overlooking the fabled
Place du Casino.
Throughout the years, the philanthropic activity of the gallery
has allowed for the publication of monographs of Italian painters,
financed scholarships at several institutions and donated works
of art to several museums around the world.

Although monochromes have existed since ancient times in Asia
and Africa, it was only as of 1915 that a concept was conceived
by Kasimir Malevitch and illustrated in his famous painting Black
Square on White Backdrop, considered ‘‘the ultimate point in
painting, or its zero point’’. Monochrome art has undergone in-
