The Harmony of Diversity

The final day of this year’s ART.FAIR and BLOOOM is over, but the positive resonance remains!


Today, ART.FAIR and BLOOOM concluded their successful stay in Cologne’s Staatenhaus. This year—with more than 32,000 visitors, including 12,000 visitors to the vernissage alone—even more art lovers found their way to the art fairs. The stream of guests remained steady throughout the duration of the fair. The spectrum of visitors ranged from young potential buyers to true connoisseurs and famous collectors from Germany and abroad. Looking back, both the organizers and the exhibitors were extraordinarily pleased with the results.

ART.FAIR and BLOOOM – two fairs, many facets

Since its foundation in 2003 by Andreas Lohaus and Walter Gehlen, Cologne’s fall art fair has steadily continued to develop. The change in venue from the Expo halls to the Staatenhaus was only one of many changes.

Last year, BLOOOM - the creative industries art show., joined in as the first fair for artists from the creative industries directed by gallery owner Yasha Young. Now both fairs are gearing up together for their second round.

ART.FAIR 2011: Even more art...

From October 29 to November 1, 2011, the ninth annual ART.FAIR will celebrate its opening at the Staatenhaus am Rheinpark, Cologne.

After the successful opening in the new halls in 2010, with approximately 32,000 visitors, we expect even more art enthusiasts this year – because there is plenty to see: the trade fair is expanding into an additional hall. A total of 16,000 m² will provide a generous amount of space for even more art.

The repertoire will range from the established figures of the 20th century to young new discoveries, and it mirrors the diversity of the international art scene. It will include familiar greats from past years, including KUNSTRAUM 21 (Cologne), Nine Gallery (Gwangju), Galerie Michael Schultz (Berlin | Seoul | Beijing), Strychnin Gallery (Berlin | London | New York) and Galerie Voss (Dusseldorf), but also new international participants, like Jiri Svestka Gallery (Berlin | Prague), Wellside Gallery (Seoul), SIAN GALLERY (Gwangju) and Victor Lope Arte Contemporaneo (Barcelona).
