KÖLNER LISTE 2017

KÖLNER LISTE - The Fair of Contemporary Art in Cologne
XPOST Cologne
Gladbacher Wall 5, 50670 Cologne

Opening April 27th

Our 4th KÖLNER LISTE has found its new home in the XPOST Cologne, a former post-office building dating back to 1895. This magnificent place with both historical and industrial charm consists of over 4,000 square meters of event space with optimum conditions, perfectly suited for an exclusive appearance of our fair which aims at combining urban feel with visual sophistication. The outstanding architectural interplay found at the XPOST Cologne enhances the experience of our visitors and participants, who can enjoy not only the quality art, but also the enticing historical surrounding. XPOST Cologne venue is cherished for its highly polished sandstone, stainless steel handrails and panoramic glass elevator. It also features perfectly spotlighted brick walls and light-filled spaces with clean-cut, minimalist structures. This interplay between the 19th and 21st century styles guarantees a powerful visual impression. XPOST Cologne is situated in the very heart of the city, which enables quick and easy travel both by car and by public transportation.

Parallel to Art Cologne, the KÖLNER LISTE takes place from April 28th to 30th 2017 at the XPOST Köln. For the fourth time, this fair of discovery will showcase a wide spectrum of emerging contemporary art at affordable prices. This is the ideal extension to Art Cologne – for collectors and first-time buyers alike. The relaxed and communicative atmosphere invites visitors to step into dialogue with international artists and to buy original art for their own homes.

The diverse selection of art ranges from large-scale canvasses to pocket-sized editions. Alongside classic painting, visitors will discover find sculpture, graphic prints, mixed media, installations, performances and video art. Photography and urban art are special highlights of the exhibition. In recent years, work first exhibited here has often found its way into renowned galleries around the world.

For us, the quality of work is just as important as the diversity. Talented artists exhibit across an impressive 4000 sqm of space and the range of styles and themes promise a unique experience for artists, visitors and art dealers. This fair truly is a place to meet emerging artists, whose work may be more reasonably priced than big names in award-winning galleries – but who are on the same level in terms of creativity.
