A new star is born. For

and contemporary art embraces painting,
sculpture and applied arts…highly
selective, Mimas hosts…galleries
of repute which line up here works of
significant importance in the panorama
of 20th century art collecting…there
are masterworks from major painters –
De Chirico and Morandi - and sculptors
– Brancusi, Arturo Martini, Manzú.
Lastly, there are tresure troves in the
section of applied arts.
Alessandra Cocci Quattordio,
AD
Less than a month after
the Mifas, the Permanente hosts the maiden
show of the new exposition dedicated to
modern and contemporary art, The Mimas…exhibitors
of international fame, works from masters
of 20th century art, reflecting the more
representative and vibrant trends of the
last century. From the “vortex”
of Balla to the jugs of Picasso.
Carlotta Lombardo,
CORRIERE DELLA SERA
…new vista for the
collectors community…an exceptional
runway, the new-born Milano International
Modern Arts Show …the Mimas steps
in the limelight of shows dedicated to
the 20th century, banking brazenly on
established names. Selection is cream
of the crop. Artists lionised by the market
and the public, towering figures of a
highly figurative and iconoclastic 20th
century, with incursions into the conceptual.
The end result is truly homogeneous…
Chiara Gatti, LA REPUBBLICA
…a select few galleries,
only pieces of great and certified value,
and doors open not only to paintings and
sculptures but also to ceramics, glassware,
furniture, textiles, sliver and jewellery…you
should check out the maiden Mimas, with
its line up of wonders ranging from the
“Nudo di giovane sdraiata”
by Boldini (1910)…to “Model”
by Botero. In between, the very best of
20th century art, principally Italian…mentioning
pell-mell: Capogrossi, Morandi, Fontana,
Severini, Campigli, Balla, Burri, Schifano,
Manzoni, Sironi, Manzù …,
Arman, Picasso, Chagall, Mitoraj, Schnabel,
all unstintingly showcased by their owners…for
the majority of its visitors, Mimas is
more of an exhibition than a mart. And
what an exhibition! Rather like a museum
of contemporary art…where one is
tempted to make a final hypothetical evaluation
of the 20th century and of its splendid
contradictions, or…just contemplate
in wonder the best of what this “exterminated
century”…produced.
Alberto Mattioli, IL
GIORNO
Milano International Modern
Arts Show…ageless modern art…the
show succeeds in connecting the dots that
show the continuity in the major trends
of 20th century arts by focusing on the
great artists
whose works have passed the test of time…The
Mimas is, thus, both an ideal platform
to size up the state of the market of
20th century masterworks and an exciting
cultural event.
E.C. Melato, CRITICA
SOCIALE
Milan is readying for the
springtime of art…indeed, the Mimas,
Milano International Modern Arts Show,
is to roll out its line up of principally
paintings and sculptures of the 20th century.
Enrica Roddolo, IL
MONDO
Milan’s springtime
of art this year is budding with a new
show-mart dedicated to all the creative
trends of modern art.
IL DOMENICALE
Not only flowers bloom in
spring in Milan…MIMAS is coming…
REISEMAGAZIN ITALIEN
Mimas is starting out…born
as complement to Mifas…art dealers
selected by a committee of experts…a
vernissage staged by El Toulà,
a location more exclusive than a fair
hall and lots of publicity in the press.
Martina Corgnati, LA
REPUBBLICA
The Mimas…modern art
made available to the public but not only…a
themed show unequalled in Italy and which
rises up to the standards of the better
museums of modern and contemporary art…a
unique opportunity and with an international
breadth (seldom do similar venues cover
the diversity of expressions of 20th century
art), The Mimas deservedly brings Milan
back to the centre of the art collecting
market. The Milano International Modern
Arts Show is organised by Artmediainternational,
who has established its reputation in
the world of fine arts and antique as
an organiser of art shows and events and
as promoter of major works of restoration,
and whose unswerving dedication to excellence
has helped ensure the success of a major
trade exhibition that is also acclaimed
as a cultural event and which attracts
top-class exhibitors and visitors from
Italy and overseas.
L’INFORMATORE
EUROPEO
The first show in Italy
with an international outreach expressly
dedicated to the many faces of modern
and contemporary art.
ANSA
The fact that, though at
its inception, The Mimas should line up
major international galleries –
and works showcased and on sale –
is a telling sign of the importance of
art as an asset that acquires value and
that reaches out to a vibrant and fast-changing
market.
Laura Gelmini, IL CITTADINO
…the start out of
The Mimas, The Milano International Modern
Arts Show…organised by Artmediainternational…dedicated
principally to paintings and sculptures
by the greatest artists and to all the
major forms of artistic expressions of
the first decades of the 20th century.
Open to Italian and foreign art galleries,
representing the more important trends
of the past century, it aims to complement
The Milano International Fine Art &
Antiques Show …
Laura Torretta, IL
SOLE 24 ORE
From (May) 7 through 11,
the maiden show of another Milanese event
dedicated to modern and contemporary art
is expected, “The Milano International
Modern Arts Show”. This show-cum-mart
event takes its cue from such New York
events as brilliantly combine art and
high society glitz.
Paolo Manazza, CORRIERE
ECONOMIA
…Mimas of established
names…deliberately leaving out the
avant-garde, focus is renowned artists.
A committee of experts of international
repute has elected to promote the more
recognised and acclaimed artists, leaving
out the avant-garde and experimentalists,
to secure safe investment for buyers…the
list of prestigious names showcased is
dizzying…
Luigi Camporelli, LA
STAMPA
…Mimas aims to be
the perfect bridge between 19th and 20th
century by promoting in particular such
artistic expressions as were largely consolidated.
Ideal for art collectors seeking continuity
of classic form…
Alberto Fiz, W&W
MILANOFINANZA
May in Milan takes on the
colours of art…“The Milano
International Modern Arts Show”
is a many-faceted event that lines up
some of the greatest artists of modern
and contemporary art, from Chagall to
Fontana from Morandi to Balla, from Boldini
to Botero. A unique occasion for discerning
collectors and art lovers, but also for
the public at large. Indeed, masterworks
are not all sequestered in museums. At
its inception…Mimas promises to
be a major cultural event, above all because
it showcases select and, at times, unique
exhibits.
IL NUOVO
Milan as capital of Italy’s
art market? Whether true or still only
a challenge, fact is that the success
of Mifas has encouraged the birth of a
similar show focused on modern and contemporary
art…the first modern art show to
open in Milan.
Silvia dell’Orso,
TUTTOMILANO-LA REPUBBLICA
…the Palazzo della
Permanente in Milan is to host the maiden
Mimas, The Milano International Modern
Arts Show, a show of international outreach
dedicated to modern art…
Bernardo Rizzato, AD
…at the Permanente,
“20th century classical and decorative
arts” …a new exhibition dedicated
to modern art…serene and muffled
ambience. Good trading…
Ada Masoero, IL GIORNALE
