“Since Carlos has run the fair, it’s made an enormous step forward. It has become so international. Not just European collectors, but ones from Latin America and the U.S.,” said Thomas Krinzinger of Austria’s Galerie Krinzinger, who noted that he’d already sold two pieces for between 30,000 and 50,000 euros.

Marcia Gail Levine, special projects director at New York’s Marlborough Gallery, said that the gallery had already sold four pieces by Juan Genovés for around 100,000 euros and two by Manolo Valdés for some 200,000 euros to Spanish and American collectors.
