A fair with history, relevance, and contemporary impact
Founded in 1967, Art Cologne holds the distinction of being one of the longest-standing art fairs worldwide. Over the decades, it has shaped the European art landscape and established itself as a central platform for showcasing modern and contemporary art. In 2025, the fair brings together international galleries representing a diverse spectrum of artistic voices, including established artists, mid-career practitioners, and emerging talents. Beyond its commercial significance, the fair promotes cultural exchange and dialogue within the global art community.
Collectors, curators, art advisors, and institutional representatives regard Art Cologne as a must-attend event for discovering new work, engaging in professional dialogue, and gaining insights into market developments and conceptual trends. The fair maintains a strong curatorial identity, offering not only paintings and installations but also a refined presence of three-dimensional art, new media, and interdisciplinary works.
