Swab Barcelona was founded in 2006, based on the
initiative of Barcelona private collection Diezy7 and the support of the
gallery owners Leo Koenig (Leo Koenig, INC, New York), Fred
Mann (Fred LTD, London) and Marta Moriarty (Vacío, 9,
Madrid).
The aim of the organizers is to present emergent
contemporary art from around the world art scene being a platform for a young
generation of national and international galleries.
In 2006, Swab took place
for its first time, bringing to Barcelona
the Art Fair always wanted for the city.
