Since the fair's first edition, U.S. galleries have held the largest representation. On this occasion, PINTA will host seventeen galleries from New York, Miami, San Antonio and other American cities. Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Venezuela, and Spain will also have a significant presence.
This year's guest artist will be Antonio Manuel (born 1947), one of the most important Brazilian artists of the 1960s and 1970s. Manuel's work, characterized by a markedly political message, is already on view at a satellite exhibition at Americas Society --"Antonio Manuel: I Want to Act, Not Represent!"-- curated by Claudia Calirman and Gabriela Rangel.
Brazil's vibrant contemporary art scene will further represented by six galleries from Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Belo Horizonte and by individual works within projects curated by Italian art critic Jacopo Crivelli Visconti. Crivelli, a former curator of the Fundação Bienal de São Paulo and of the Volta Contemporary Art Fair at Basel, Switzerland, will present works by Claudio Perna (Venezuela), Eder Santos (Brazil), Faivovich and Goldberg (Argentina), Fernanda Gomes (Brazil), Iván Candeo (Venezuela), Jonathan Hernández (Mexico), Lygia Pape (Brazil), Patricio Larrambebere (Argentina) and Rómulo Aguerre (Uruguay).

"This is a project that keeps growing," says PINTA's chairman Alejandro Zaia. “We will continue to contribute to the strengthening and increased exposure of Latin American, Spanish and Portuguese art in two of the greatest cultural capitals of the world: New York and London.”
