Art Cologne 2017 (25-29/4/17) ended impressively underlining its top position, 204 Galleries from 28 countries travelled to Cologne this year and presented works by around 2,000 Modern, Postwar and Contemporary artists to around 52,000 visitors. The new section NEUMARKT gave young galleries possibilities for presentation and international networking. An example of its success are some of the statements from the Art People who participated: “The visitors are quite knowledgeable”, determined Hannes Schroeder-Finckh from the gallery Sprüth Magers (Berlin, London, Los Angeles), which, among others, sold a work by Cindy Sherman and sculptures by Rosemarie Trockel to Cologne-based collections. “The atmosphere at the opening was fantastic ART COLOGNE has once again improved in terms of quality. We had good discussions and were able to establish new contacts“.
Also completely satisfied was the staff at the gallery Thaddaeus Ropac (Salzburg, Paris), where painting and sculpture were equally in demand. “ART COLOGNE has a big presence and belongs in the category of international trade fairs”, finds Fred Jahn from the Galerie Jahn und Jahn (Munich) “Everything makes a serious and professional impression, all contributions are of high quality”. Ursula Gansfort from the Schönewald gallery (Düsseldorf) is also very satisfied: “We made good sales. The diversity and quality of the collectors are also very good.”“The quality is super, I even bought works myself”, the New York gallery owner Carolina Nitsch ascertained. The sales at the opening were “sensational”. “There is a market for classic works in good condition“, according to Nitsch, who also welcomed museum people to his stand.
