Trump announces trade deal with EU following months of negotiations
MONACO - Informa PLC (LSE:LON:INF.L) has acquired Art Monte-Carlo, adding the contemporary art event to its Informa Prestige luxury portfolio, the company announced Monday.
The acquisition was revealed on the opening day of the 2025 edition of Art Monte-Carlo, which features 25 international modern and contemporary galleries alongside special projects and art publishers.
The addition extends Informa’s decade-long partnership with Monaco, where it has become the largest owner and operator of live events in the Principality. The company now manages more than 15 luxury brands across Europe and the U.S., including the Monaco Yacht Show, Top Marques Monaco, and luxury publisher BOAT International.
Art Monte-Carlo, established in 2016, will continue to be led by its current team while gaining access to Informa’s international resources and connections in adjacent luxury markets such as aviation, yachting, automotive, technology, and jewelry.
"We have built Informa Prestige around exceptional brands that create unique opportunities and experiences in the Luxury market," said Toby Moore, CEO of Informa Prestige, in a press release statement. "Art Monte-Carlo has earned its reputation for delivering exactly that here in Monaco."
The acquisition complements Informa’s existing presence in the art market through Art Miami and the Miami Beach and Houston editions of Untitled Art.
The company also announced that John Paton, Executive Chair of BOAT International, has been appointed Executive Chair of Informa Prestige.
Informa describes its Prestige division as a collection of complementary B2B brands within Informa Markets serving the luxury and lifestyle sector.
