Zona Maco 2025 Receipts: Big Mariachi Energy

For over 20 years, Zona Maco has been a key part of Mexico's evolving art scene and the mainstay of Mexico City Art Week. The fair's 2025 edition (5–9 February) showcased 200 galleries from 29 countries, including 39 first-time participants, at its traditional home, the Centro Citibanamex convention centre. The mood was upbeat on the first day despite President Trump's recent announcement (and postponement) of trade tariffs, and there was a noticeably large presence of international collectors' groups.

London's Cadogan Gallery returned to the main section for the second year, showcasing works by Mexico City-based artist Andreas Diaz Andersson, British artists Sam Lock and Deborah Tarr, and Nuria Maria from the Netherlands. 'We already have a strong Mexican collector base, and the people are very welcoming,' said director Freddie Burness. He confirmed the sale of an acrylic painting by Maria for 9,000 USD.
