Zona Maco

Established in 2002 by visionary Zélika García, Zsona Maco has blossomed from a daring debut into the undisputed crown jewel of Mexico City Art Week, transforming the metropolis into a global epicenter of high-stakes acquisition every February. This sultry, high-brow fever dream is where the international elite and blue-chip heavyweights like kurimanzutto converge to define the future of the Latin American art market, meticulously curating four specialized salons—Contemporary Art, Design, Antiques, and Photography—within the expansive halls of Centro Citibanamex.

For ArtAtlas travelers this is a city of vibrancy and freshness where the "gallery girlies" trade their Brooklyn grit for CDMX’s neo-colonial glamour, whispering a chic “hola, wey” over mezcalitos at the most gatekept hideaways in Roma Norte. If you thought snagging a table at Contramar was an art form before, consider it a delightful impossibility while the global set and On-running wearing collectors descend upon the jacaranda-lined streets. In this 24-hour editorial, the time for "just looking" has passed; the new wave of collector knows that the best acquisitions are museum-caliber, strictly front-row, and best enjoyed before the secret is out.
