Art Cologne

With over half a century of history, ART COLOGNE has become one of the leading international hubs for high quality art of the 20th and 21st century. The 54th ART COLOGNE edition was originally scheduled for 2020, but the health risks and restrictions on large events associated with the COVID-19 pandemic led to its postponement. The upcoming ART COLOGNE 2021 has been set to run between 14 – 18 April 2021. It will feature two days of previews for invited guests – 14 and 15 April – while the rest of the fair’s duration will be open to the public.

Each year ART COLOGNE hosts about 200 galleries in a diverse assortment of segments. Main among them are the CONTEMPORARY and MODERN/POST-WAR sections, while the exclusive NEUMARKT hosts young galleries that have operated for less than a decade. The show also features the famous NEW POSITIONS sponsorship programme for upcoming artists and the thematic COLLABORATION collection. Over 50,000 gallery-owners, curators, collectors, artists and art lovers will attend the event to enjoy an outstanding collection of artworks offering in-depth insight into the latest trends and emerging tastes on the scene.

Besides creating a significant marketplace for the art world, the fair also hosts a variety of special events. Among them is the "UNLOCK Art by ZEITmagazin" conference, which will feature various decision makers of the art scene who will discuss its current challenges. The COLOGNE FINE ART & DESIGN fair will run parallel to complement the ART COLOGNE programme with its old art and antiques exhibition.
