Art Cologne, 21-25 April 2010
After last year's change of direction, which saw new director Daniel Hug tackle Art Cologne's dropping attendance figures by slimming down the exhibitor's list and refocusing the presentation, Art Cologne seems to have regained some standing.
The newly released exhibitor's list for 2010 most notably includes Spruth Magers - one of the galleries that complained about the fair's loss of status prior to the opening of the 2008 fair. Also taking stalls will be contemporary Asian art specialists Alexander Ochs, Swiss gallery Patricia Low and Eigen + Art from Berlin. Melbourne's Neon Parc and Auckland's Starkwhite also make an appearance on the list for 2010.
