My name is Cristina Uribe and I work in the International Department of the Gaudà Gallery from Madrid, in Spain.
I am contacting you because very soon, from February 20th until the 23rd, the gallery will take part in the International Art Fair ARTEGENOVA that will take place in Italy www.artegenova.org
We are very interested in your art work and we think that fits perfectly with the art works we are going to present in this Art Fair. If our proposal is of your interest, please contact us by mail and we will send you the contract with the conditions of the participation.
Awaiting for your answer
Sending you by best regards, Cristina Uribe
This is the mail that have been artists from around the world, it is said in some forums and blogs of artists such as blog

This blog is read the original post was deleted at the request of re-titl.com and Gallery Gaudi Madrid.
the has-been removed original posting as Requested by re-title.com and Galeria Gaudi of Madrid. I Was wondering about this particular "scam" Because It Did not Have the usual weirdly Phrased sentences. I Thought It Was Innovative a whole new style of scam. It turns out it May Not Be a scam afterall, at least Not in the usual sense.
The comments we can read and follow the "deal", seems to be that to participate and make a presentation you have to pay € 1500. Salta
doubt among users as to whether it is a "scam", some of which specialize in defrauding artists, as can be seen on the websites:
http://stopartscams.blogspot.com/
http://www.artscams.com/
really seems that these mails are sent from the Gallery to attract potential artists Gaudà willing to pay € 1500 for exposing.
We see this type of legitimate business.
I invite you to say a resounding NO to such proposals, which for us are very close to the scam and insult, poor condition and pose for artists.
As they say in the blog cited above: " They Are not interested at all in your work. They just want your money."

I got today from the Same crap Galeria Gaudi! They just want to get some easy money from the hopeful artists ... You do not get anything for your money if you pay Them. This is the Same as Agora Gallery.
It could be a role model by some galleries.
do not have to pay for post, you should pay to you, because these "filling" your space and your business. at least reach a good agreement with the gallery so you do not waste your money.
If you are looking dissemination using the internet.
If you want to expand curriculum seeks public or events, show up at events and festivals where you pay or you are in good conditions and experiences.
If you wish to sell make a good distribution of your product and have experiences to have a good curriculum and know how to sign your contracts.
intermediaries have to help, not parasite.
