ART FORUM BERLIN, The International Fair for Contemporary Art, is
Europe's only comprehensive fair dedicated solely to the presentation of
contemporary art and emerging production. Delighting visitors with a
captivating overview of the most recent trends in the international
contemporary art scene, ART FORUM BERLIN offers the perfect setting in
which to immerse oneself in the discovery of new artists and new art
projects from all over the world. Set in the context of Europe's most
rapidly expanding cultural capital, ART FORUM BERLIN draws collectors,
curators, critics and art-lovers from all nations in increasing numbers
each year. As one Canadian collector described his visit to last year's
fair: "Exciting art in an exciting time in an exciting city - what could
be better!".
As of the beginning of this year a new international Galleries Advisory
Board has been established, taking over the role of conceptual counsel
from European Galleries Projektgesellschaft, the founders of the fair,
who after six successful years are passing the reigns along to the
following generation. This paves the way for ART FORUM BERLIN's entrance
into the next exciting stage of its development. The new board will give
expert counsel to the Messe Berlin concerning the conceptual orientation
of this flourishing contemporary art fair and is composed of the
following gallerists:
Cilene Andrehn, Stockholm; Gerd Harry Lybke, Berlin; Christian Nagel,
Koln/Berlin; Anthony Reynolds, London; Burkhard Riemschneider, Berlin;
Aidan Salakhova, Moscow; Barbara Thumm, Berlin; Thilo Wermke, Berlin.
The seventh ART FORUM BERLIN takes place under the patronage of the
Governing Mayor of Berlin, Klaus Wowereit who underscores his support
for the fair on the one hand with ART FORUM BERLIN's high demand for
quality, and on the other hand with the international profile and
positive appeal of the art fair and Berlin's art scene, which make such
essential contributions to the city.
Parallel to the fair, Germany's capital once again offers numerous
exciting exhibitions and other events in the course of the .Kunstherbst
Berlin. Highlights include an exhibition of new work by Gerhard Richter
at the Deutsche Guggenheim Berlin, the exhibition "Spatial" at
DaimlerChrysler Contemporary, "Mexico City: an exhibition about "the
exchange rate of bodies and values" at the KW Kunst-Werke Berlin e.V.
and the festival "MEXArtes" at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt.
ART FORUM BERLIN 2002 - The International Fair for Contemporary Art -
will take place for the seventh time from September 26th - 30th, 2002 at
the Berlin Fairgrounds. Opening hours: 12-8pm. The preview will be on
