Strong presence with 105 galleries – 34 new participants
Over 100 galleries: This year, Art Düsseldorf presents a strong list of participants with 105 galleries, which has grown compared to last year. 34 galleries from the national and international environment are taking part for the first time: including Meyer Riegger (Berlin), Kewenig (Berlin, Palma de Mallorca), Dirimart (Istanbul) and Plus-One Gallery (Antwerp). 71 galleries are returning to take part again, including well-known names such as Galerie Thomas Schulte (Berlin), Galerie Michael Haas (Berlin) and Konrad Fischer (Düsseldorf, Berlin).
This year there are 30 galleries from Düsseldorf and Cologne. Galleries based in Berlin are also well represented: 24 galleries reflect the rich art scene in the capital, e.g. KOW, Dittrich&Schlechtriem or Galerie Friese. The list is also enriched by 40 galleries with international locations. These galleries travel from countries such as Austria, Turkey, Denmark, Ireland, Italy, Spain, USA, India, Sweden, Belgium, Great Britain, Portugal and France, including galleries such as Emami Art (Kolkata), Carolina Nitsch (New York) , Galerie Krinzinger (Vienna), Tatjana Pieters (Ghent) and Steve Turner (Los Angeles).
The outstanding selection reinforces Art Düsseldorf’s excellent reputation as a lively stage for younger and established positions in tune with the times. Works by artists such as Marina Abramović, Julius von Bismarck, Ulla von Brandenburg, Julian Charrière, Willem de Kooning, Karin Kneffel, Konrad Klappheck, Joep van Liefland, Heinz Mack, Bettina Pousttchi, Troika, and Jürgen Staeck have been announced.
With this list of exhibitors, Art Düsseldorf confirms its position as a multi-faceted, sought-after marketplace for collectors, art enthusiasts and art industry professionals.
Diverse sections
The fair underpins its claim to discursivity, innovation and the taking up of current topics through its curatorial approach and the targeted design of its sections and focus topics. With its theme and supporting program, it continues to assert itself as a place for exchange, debate and art experience. As last year, the sections of the fair are once again called Main, Next, Solo Projects and Joint. The Next section is designed for younger galleries that have been active for less than ten years. The Joint section gives galleries the opportunity to present cooperatively. The Solo Projects present outstanding artists on the central focus topics of 2024:
- Photography & Identity
- Retromania
- Future Bodies
These focus topics can also be found in the trade fair’s talk program. For the first time this year, the sought-after Sculpture Spots, which present sculptures of museum standards, will be selected and presented by a duo of curators. Laura Helena Wurth (Deutschlandfunk Kultur) and Alexander Wilmschen (Kestner Gesellschaft) take on this task.
Sustainability as an obligation: The “Change” project in cooperation with the E.on Foundation
Both curators are also responsible for the “Change” project, which, in collaboration with the E.on Foundation, presents contemporary positions that deal with sustainability and transformation processes. Walter Gehlen, Director of Art Düsseldorf, emphasizes the fair’s continuous innovation and emphasizes the collaboration with the foundation: “Dealing with the topic of sustainability remains a central focus of Art Düsseldorf. In close cooperation with the E.on Foundation, we will explore new perspectives and contemporary approaches to this topic in art in 2024.” As part of the Change Project, artistic positions from Julia Scher, Jonas Lund, Gerrit Frohne-Brinkmann and Mona Schulzek, among others, will be explored be seen.
Düsseldorf as an art-historically important travel destination in spring
Not only is Art Düsseldorf a reason to come to the Rhineland this spring, it is embedded in the rich offerings of the state capital as an art-historically important place and is based on a close network of galleries, museums and collections. From mid-March, the NRW Art Collection is presenting the exhibition “Hilma af Klint and Wassily Kandinsky. Dreams of the Future”, while the new collection presentation including the replica of the legendary cream cheese bar can be experienced in the Kunstpalast. In April, the fair is at the center of cultural events as a lively stage for contemporary art.
“We are looking forward to four days full of art, exchange and inspiring encounters. The Art Düsseldorf program and that of the participating galleries combine that we draw on the cultural wealth of the Rhineland and at the same time promote contemporary global art. We achieve this through careful curation, well-thought-out programming and a strong understanding of the dynamic relationships between art history and innovation, between galleries, artists, the fair and its location,” summarizes Walter Gehlen.
