Europe’s oldest art fair has returned to the Koelnmesse trade fair and exhibition centre, where it continues through 19 November.
This year’s Art Cologne features 173 exhibitors, down slightly from over 190 in 2022.
Among the leading German galleries taking part is Sprüth Magers.
They will present works by artists including Jenny Holzer, a site-specific mural by Nora Turato (pictured top), and a new painting by Anne Imhof.
Istanbul-based gallery Zilberman, which also has spaces in Miami and Berlin, is presenting prints by Isaac Chong Wai, coloured pencil on paper ‘Iguana’ drawings by Judith Raum, and a robot sheep by Itamar Gov, among works by other artists.
Galerie Julian Sander‘s booth is devoted to black and white photographs including portraits from August Sander‘s ‘People of the 20th Century’ series.
Among the highlights is a portrait of American photographer William Eggleston by Rosalind Fox Solomon.
Seventeen galleries from Austria are taking part this year.
Among them are Emanuel Layr, who are presenting works by sculptor Benjamin Hirte, and Galerie Meyer Kainer, presenting Rosemarie Trockel‘s wall piece Father (1995) and Gelatin‘s aluminium busts of the back of people’s heads.
Art Cologne has also drawn a handful of galleries from further abroad. They include Sydney’s Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery, Istanbul’s Sevil Dolmaci, and Hong Kong’s Pearl Lam Galleries.
Pearl Lam will present works from West Africa and African diaspora artists including Rufus Ogundele, portraits by Babajide Olatunji, and Deborah Segun‘s colourful abstractions. —[O]
