Art Düsseldorf mit Besucher-Plus
Art Düsseldorf concluded its eighth edition with a significant increase in attendance, drawing 23,000 visitors to the Areal Böhler over the weekend. The fair featured 119 galleries from Germany and abroad, showcasing contemporary art despite broader economic uncertainties. This year's figures represent a notable growth from the previous year, which saw 20,000 visitors and 108 participating galleries.
The success of the fair suggests a resilient regional market in the Rhineland, countering global trends of a cooling art market. Director Walter Gehlen emphasized that the event's growth solidifies its position as a central hub for contemporary art in the German-speaking world, benefiting from a high density of local collectors, institutions, and galleries.
