Cologne is the source of Germany\u2019s contemporary art scene. It is home to the massively influential Museum Ludwig<\/strong> and the world\u2019s oldest art fair, Art Cologne<\/strong>, the 52nd edition of which has just opened, as well as being a hub for many of the most important post-war German artists, including Gerhard Richter, Sigmar Polke, Georg Baselitz and Martin Kippenberger, and their gallerists, such as Karsten Greve, Paul Maenz, Rolf Ricke, Michael Werner, and Rudolf Zwirner, David Zwirner\u2019s father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet while Art Basel prospered in the 2000s, Art Cologne  declined as the German economy faltered following reunification and the art scene, if not the collectors, moved to gritty post-Wall Berlin, where rent was cheap and opportunity plentiful\u2014\u201dSexy but poor\u201d as a former mayor said. The German economy has now rebounded though and Berlin rent is no longer so cheap. Meanwhile, after a period of contraction, Art Cologne has been rebuilding, with its parent, Koelnmesse, in 2017 even buying-out Art Berlin Contemporary, Berlin\u2019s art-fair-by-any-other-name, which never succeeded like its older, more successful sister, Gallery Weekend (which opens next week). Art Cologne\u2019s strategy is simple: build on the synergies and respective strengths of Berlin (political and creative) and Cologne (economic and geographic \u2013 close to Paris and Benelux countries).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As usual, some major New York and London galleries have come to Art Cologne this year. Blain|Southern, Lisson, Gagosian, Hauser & Wirth<\/strong> and David Zwirner<\/strong> are all there, but mainly the galleries at Art Cologne are from South West Germany, Paris (Thaddaeus Ropac<\/strong>) and Berlin (Esther Schipper, K\u00f6nig<\/strong>), with a sprinkling of Swiss and Austrian galleries (like Galerie n\u00e4chst St.Stephen Rosemarie Schwarzw\u00e4lder<\/strong> from Vienna).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Galleries from Asia are hard to find, with the notable exceptions of Pearl Lam Galleries<\/strong> (Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore) and Whitestone<\/strong> (Hong Kong, Taipei and Tokyo). Asked about the difference between Art Basel\u2019s and Art Cologne\u2019s respective Asia strategies, Galerie R\u00fcdiger Sch\u00f6ttle<\/strong>\u2019s Dr. Ingrid Lohaus, noted that while \u201cArt Basel Hong Kong is in the meantime one of the most important global and international art fairs. Cologne is less international but very established and it builds an important platform for the nucleus of the European collectors since its beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the core of Art Cologne is the local talent, whether from Berlin, Munich or Cologne itself, including Galerie Gisela Capitain, Spr\u00fcth Magers, Nagel Draxler<\/strong> (which after moving to Berlin has just reopened a permanent space in Cologne again), Kraupa-Tuskany Zeidler<\/strong> (Berlin) and Galerie R\u00fcdiger Sch\u00f6ttle<\/strong> (Munich).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given that Art Brussels is on simultaneously and next week sees Gallery Weekend in Berlin (and the fancy New York Times Art Leaders conference), it feels quite crowded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some highlights from Art Cologne, all galleries that also show at art fairs in China, including Art Basel Hong Kong, West Bund and ART021 in Shanghai and the new Jing art fair in Beijing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
