Art Cologne 2001

KoelnMesse, Koln

With ART COLOGNE, Germany's most important art fair is held each year. Since its founding in 1967, the Cologne International Art Fair has been the flagship for all international art fairs, and in terms of its composition and atmosphere, is unique in the world. This status as well as the quality and balance of its range are maintained by an international selection committee. The number of participants, which is restricted to about 260 internationally renowned galleries, guarantees a transparent structure, but at the same time, offers a comprehensive overview of the 20th century art scene - from the Classical Moderns up to the latest art productions. Apart from the classics, the focal points of the range are 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's art.

Featuring art works both old and new, the ART COLOGNE will open its doors to the public from October 31 to November 4, 2001. Around 270 leading dealers in modern and contemporary art from over 20 countries will be exhibiting at the ART COLOGNE 2001. Based as ever on the Cologne trade fair site, ART COLOGNE will present selected works of art from the 20th and 21st centuries. The spotlight at this year's fair will fall on classical Modernist works, as well as on art from the 1960s - 80s and contemporary modern art and sculpture.

In addition, ART COLOGNE offers the entire infrastructure and comprehensive services of KölnMesse, one of the world´s four largest trade fair companies. You will find everything to make your stay during the event as comfortable and productive as possible. Conveniently located parking lots, train stations and airports make ART COLOGNE easily accessible.

Integrated into the exhibition area of KölnMesse GmbH's Rhineside Halls is the Köln Skulptur sector. In this presentation setting, which is unique worldwide, admission is exclusively limited to three-dimensional objects. This year, a number of young, up-and-coming artists will participate in the international sponsorship programme supported by the Federal Ministry of the Interior, the City of Cologne and KölnMesse. The young galleries, which at the invitation of a jury of experts, are able to participate at the fair thanks to sponsorship by the Stadtsparkasse Cologne's Culture Foundation (Stiftung Kultur), will also form their own section within the event. Each year, ART COLOGNE registers around 70,000 visitors.

ART-Talks - a new discussion element
New to ART COLOGNE will be the staging of public discussions about art entitled "ART talks". The discussions will be chaired and will take place daily between 4 pm and 5 pm at the WDR stand (Hall 3, gound floor, G 21). "ART talks" will be organised by finde art and media consultants Krebber + Schmid who also run the programme of daily tours and special-theme tours at ART COLOGNE.
