Art Cologne is an international art fair dedicated to celebrating and selling art from the 20th and 21st centuries. It brings together around 200 commercial galleries to display artwork by over 2.000 artists, from the well-established to the up-and-coming.

The most important art fair in Germany

Art Cologne is regarded as the oldest art fair of its kind in the whole world, having begun in 1967 as a collection of 18 galleries in Cologne that began to exhibit and sell new art. Today, it stands for the highest quality in 20th and 21st-century art, and is regarded as the most important art fair in Germany, with artworks stretching from the post-war period up to the present day.
