• Patricia Ortiz Monasterio, owner of the OMR Gallery in Mexico City, speaks about the fair’s Latin American slant: “Every art fair must have its own personality. Having a strong representation of Latin American art doesn’t mean we’re only about Latin American art, but, yes, there is an emphasis. That is why people want to come: because they find something distinctive.”
