The 2010 gallery list also sees top national and international dealers rejoining the Fair after a few years’ absence. We’re delighted to have attracted top names in the business, says ART COLOGNE Director Daniel Hug. We’ll be seeing a really high-calibre gallery list. A list which represents a significant cross-section of Germany’s major art-market centres – Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Leipzig, Munich and the Rhineland. This strong showing will give ART COLOGNE real pulling-power at both the national and the international level.’ Hug emphasizes the importance of the dealers who are coming back in 2010 – top galleries like EIGEN + ART (Berlin / Leipzig), Karsten Greve (Cologne / St. Moritz / Paris), Akira Ikeda (Berlin / New York / Taura), Johnen (Berlin), nächst St. Stephan (Vienna), Onrust (Amsterdam), The Paragon Press (London), Rüdiger Schöttle (Munich) and Sprüth Magers (Berlin / London). Other top-flight galleries who rejoined the Fair in 2009 and will also be returning for another successful run are Annely Juda Fine Art (London), 1301 PE (Los Angeles), Berinson (Berlin), Ernst Hilger (Vienna), Lahumière (Paris), Hans Mayer (Düsseldorf) and Michael Werner (Cologne / Berlin / New York).
The 2009 relaunch of ART COLOGNE saw a number of important changes in the management, scope and format of the Fair. The event was more concentrated and clearly defined, with a slimmed-down exhibitor list and compacter architecture and layout. Greater emphasis was placed on its traditional core strengths. An innovative programme of cooperative arrangements with a large number of important Rhineland museums has strengthened local cultural links. This fresh new focus and format has triggered a very positive response and provides a promising springboard for 2010.
The 2010 edition of ART COLOGNE – the 44th in its long history -will again be staged in Hall 11 of the Cologne Trade Fair Centre (Koelnmesse). One hundred and ninety leading national and international galleries are expected. They will be showcasing classical 20th-century art, post-war art and contemporary art. The gallery list as it currently stands already includes important names in all three sections of the Fair. Top-flight galleries rejoining after a few years’ absence are: Bo Bjerggaard (Copenhagen), EIGEN + ART (Berlin / Leipzig), Karsten Greve (Cologne / St. Moritz / Paris), Akira Ikeda (Berlin / New York / Taura), Johnen (Berlin), Peter Kilchmann (Zürich), nächst St. Stephan (Vienna), Giti Nourbakhsch (Berlin), Onrust (Amsterdam), The Paragon Press (London), Rüdiger Schöttle (Munich) and Sprüth Magers (Berlin / London). The Fair will also be hosting dealers from countries that were not represented at the 2009 event like Kalfayan (Athens / Thessaloniki), Neon Parc (Melbourne), Sonia Rosso (Turin), Starkwhite (Auckland) and The Third Line (Dubai). The upper level of the exhibition hall will be showcasing cutting-edge trends in international contemporary art together with the popular Open Space’ and New Contemporaries’ sections. Important young galleries that have already signed up – many of them newcomers – include Loraini Alimantiri Gazonrouge (Athens), Andersen-S Contemporary (Berlin / Copenhagen), Broadway 1602 (New York), Fonti (Naples), Iris Kadel (Karlsruhe), Ben Kaufmann (Berlin), Koch Oberhuber + Wolff (Berlin), Johann König (Berlin), lokal 30 (Warsaw / London), Kate MacGarry (London), Diana Stigter (Amsterdam), Martin van Zomeren (Amsterdam) and Jocelyn Wolff (Paris).
