ART COLOGNE
Köln, , DE Germany

With ART COLOGNE, Germany's most important art fair, is held each November. 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.
