Even more international, even more diverse and of even higher quality, as well as a greater focus on female artists and greater exclusivity: these are the promises by the creators of SPARK ART FAIR VIENNA in advance of the second year of the art fair at Vienna's MARX HALLE from 24 to 27 March.
With the announcement of the participating galleries and the solo presentations of emerging and established international artists which are to be exhibited, SPARK ART FAIR VIENNA continues on its successful path towards becoming one of the leading art fairs in Europe.
"Many works will be shown at SPARK for the first time. The artists produce pieces exclusively for their presentations in the MARX HALLE. This shows the importance of the fair for the exhibitors and gives collectors and interested parties the opportunity to view and buy works which have not yet been released onto the art market," SPARK Managing Director Renger van den Heuvel is delighted to announce.
In total, 39 galleries from Austria will be represented, and 45 selected solo presentations from contemporary and modern artists will be exhibited at the fair.
As in the previous year, there will be three curated sections at the fair, "SPARK Expanded", "Photography" and "The Fourth Wall", in which 28 individual artists will be represented.
"We are particularly proud to be able to display the work of 25 younger artists (under 40s), such as Michael Fanta, Elisa Alberti and Anouk Lamm. Anouk is from Austria, Robert Grabis from Slovakia and Alex Urban is from Poland. On top of this, the proportion of female artists exhibiting this year is 50 per cent," says van den Heuvel.
Alongside up-and-coming young female artists, works by established greats such as Simone Fattal and Vera Molnar will also be exhibited and female artists such as Christine Gironcoli and Galli will once again be in the spotlight. In terms of both galleries and artists, the number of international participants has grown compared to last year.
" At SPARK ART FAIR VIENNA, we will be welcoming galleries from a total of 15 countries, from Austria and its neighbouring countries through to Turkey, Portugal, Spain and France," explains van den Heuvel.
In terms of male artists at SPARK works will be shown of artists like Daniel Knorr (nächst St. Stephan Rosemarie Schwarzwälder), Daniel Lergon (Crone) and Arnulf Rainer (Lelong & Co.)
With its first-class program, SPARK ART FAIR VIENNA is once again living up to its claim of acting as a living platform for galleries, experts, promoters, and supporters of emerging and established art - as well as for all artists. The unique exhibition architecture with its focus on solo presentations puts the artists themselves in the centre.
The exclusivity is a benefit for everyone: the individual artists receive full attention for their works, the galleries are perceived more strongly in their role as developers and promoters, and, through the possibility of getting close to the art, the audience gain a deeper insight into the works of the respective artist.
Collaborations with the city's most significant museums and art institutions will provide an enhanced experience of contemporary Vienna.
The section "PHOTOGRAPHY" is a complement to the FOTO WIEN festival which takes place at the same time and emphasizes the importance of photography in the art market.
The extended international audience will also be offered interesting insights and networking opportunities via the digital SPARK Studio and online VIP events.
