Art Copenhagen 2012

From Melbourne to Bristol and Berlin, this year’s Art Copenhagen takes the plunge and opens up for participation by galleries from outside of Scandinavia. In addition to galleries from the top of the Nordic contemporary art scene, visitors will also discover up-and-coming and established galleries from around the world among the fair’s 71 exhibitors.
The new international profile was developed in a collaboration between the Danish galleries and Art Copenhagen. Fair organisers asked a number of selected galleries to select a foreign partner gallery with an interesting profile for Art Copenhagen. As a result, nine new international galleries have found their way to the fair.
                                                                                      
The international attention surrounding the fair is further underlined by the fact that more than 100 international collectors have chosen to attend Art Copenhagen this year.

18 solo presentations
Another notable feature of Art Copenhagen 2012 will be a special focus on solo presentations. A total of 18 galleries have chosen to dedicate all or a large part of their stands to exhibiting a single artist’s works. Thus visitors will experience solo exhibitions by Tony Martelli (currently exhibiting at ARoS) at Andrehn-Shiptjenko, Ivan Andersen at Bo Bjerggaard, Gudrun Hasle at Tom Christoffersen, Eva Koch at Martin Asbæk and Jacob Holdt at V1.

Art Copenhagen opens to invited guests at 2 pm Friday 14 September 2012. At 4 pm the exhibition opens to the public until Sunday 16 September 2012 .
