The Covid-19 pandemic forced fairs in March and beyond to shutter. The European Fine Art Fair in Maastricht (March 7–11) closed four days early after an Italian gallerist tested positive for the disease; at least 25 attendees were later confirmed to have caught the virus. Melbourne Art Fair was rescheduled from June to February 4–7, 2021. Meanwhile, canceled fairs experimented with digital platforms to mixed success.
