21 – 25 April 2010

Axa Art Professional Preview on Tuesday, 20 April, 12 pm

Vernissage on Tuesday, 20 April, 5 www.artcologne.com

For more than a decade the section of New Contemporaries has been the place to make unusual and exciting discoveries: young international galleries selected by the Advisory Board of ART COLOGNE (21-25 April 2010) to present between two and four selected positions from their programme. The galleries featured in New Contemporaries will be appearing in stands of 30 square metres in the contemporary fair proper, giving these young enterprises the chance to exhibit among the most respected and active galleries in Germany and the world today. The presentation is supported by Maurice Lacroix, our new partner in making the New Contemporaries section possible. During the course of the fair, an international jury will select and present the MAURICE LACROIX ART AWARD for New Contemporaries to the best stand in the New Contemporaries section.
