On schedule also the assignment of the second edition of the ZKB Art Award.
Kunst Zürich has become an attractive new addition to the world of major European art fairs. The high number of visitors and the impressive sales figures of recent years confirm that the business centre of Zurich is an ideal location. KUNST ZÜRICH is again working with experienced gallerists who present emerging young art in addition to works by internationally renowned artists.
KUNST ZÜRICH is proud to offer the ZKB Art Award for the second time. 12 Swiss artists will be selected for an award of 10’000 CHF by the Zürcher Kantonalbank to present their work in a solo-show. This combination of quality, an international spectrum and cutting-edge art will convince every visitor that KUNST ZÜRICH’s reputation as an innovative art fair is justly deserved. This generous gesture confirms the fair management in their attempt to sustainably promote cutting-edge art.
The art fair appeals to both our primary target audience - interested collectors from Switzerland and abroad – and urbane and culturally interested Swiss visitors, particularly the metropolitan area of Zurich. More than 20,000 visitors from Switzerland and abroad each year confirmed the philosophy of the art fair when they transformed the exhibition centre at Zürich-Oerlikon into a vibrant art centre for four days.
