From October 3 – 6, Barcelona – Spain's second largest city and the capital of Catalonia – hosted the international contemporary art fair known as Swab Barcelona 2013. This was the first time that the fair was held in the autumn; the previous five years it had always been held in May.
26 galleries took part in the main exhibition – ten from Barcelona, and the rest from London, Berlin, Budapest, Paris, St. Petersburg, Istanbul, and the Italian cities of Milan and Naples, among others. There weren't any galleries representing the Baltic States this year. Individual sections of the fair were reserved for US and Asian galleries. Swab Barcelona has a special program for collectors, having specially invited 60 art connoisseurs and potential buyers from around the world. The following is a photo reportage of the event.
