At Art Düsseldorf, we intend to present a selection of artists who have joined the gallery program in the past two years, representing the youngest generation: Tom Anholt, Martin Groß, Stef Heidhues, Melora Kuhn, Lada Nakonechna, Titus Schade, Kristina Schuldt, Carsten Sievers and Mirjam Völker. All works have been exclusively produced for the fair.
