An art experience for explorers
“The diversity of our program goes hand in hand with the democratic approach of the Affordable Art Fairs ,” explains trade fair director Oliver Lähndorf.
We are not interested in elitism and gatekeeping. With transparent prices and a relaxed atmosphere, we deliberately reduce any anxieties surrounding art purchases, while the wide range of positions ensures that there is something for everyone to discover – whether seasoned collectors or art novices. This way, everyone can not only find that one piece that they can't get out of their head, but also take it home with them right away.
