Cosmoscow is the only international contemporary art fair in Russia and the CIS, aimed at bringing together both Russian and international collectors, galleries and artists.[1] Cosmoscow was launched by Russian collector and philanthropist Margarita Pushkina in 2010. Since 2014 it is an annual September event.[2]
The second edition of Cosmoscow took place in 2014. The fair took place at the Moscow Manege, lasting for 4 days (September 18-21), hosted 26 galleries and welcomed 10,500 visitors.[3]
Cosmoscow third edition took place in 2015 (September 10-13) at the Gostiny Dvor.[4] It was accompanied by a number of prolonged initiatives that drew much public attention, including the Off white charity auction.[5] In 2015 Cosmoscow gained support from its new strategic partner – Credit Suisse.[6] This time Cosmoscow hosted 34 galleries and welcomed 14,000 guests.[7]
The latest edition of the fair took place at the Gostiny Dvor on September 9-11, 2016 representing 38 local and international galleries and welcoming over 16,000 visitors.[8] This time the new Credit Suisse Cosmoscow Prize for Young Artists was launched.[9]
