黑料不打烊

The 2010 edition of Art Cologne will take place between 21-25 April 2010. The Fair, revamped and successfully relaunched in spring 2009, has been successful both in winning back important galleries as exhibitors and in integrating young galleries. 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), nachst St. Stephan (Vienna), Onrust (Amsterdam), The Paragon Press (London), Rudiger Schottle (Munich) and Spruth 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), Lahumiere (Paris), Hans Mayer (Dusseldorf) 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.
