Art Cologne 2025
6–9 November 2025Art Cologne, founded in 1967 as the world’s first modern and contemporary art fair, returns in 2025 with its hallmark mix of historical depth and contemporary innovation. The fair is celebrated for showcasing post-war German art alongside leading international galleries and emerging practices, creating a dialogue across generations.
Unlike larger fairs, Art Cologne maintains an approachable scale that encourages meaningful connections between artists, collectors, and institutions. Set in a city long associated with the avant-garde, it remains a vital European destination where history and the contemporary art market converge.
