ART COLOGNE, in partnership with the Federal Association of German Galleries and Editions (BVDG), has been promoting selected young artists since 1980, providing them with a springboard to the international art market. Free of charge, artists selected for New Positions will be provided with an exhibition space of 25 square metres adjacent to the stand of the gallery representing them.
From these presentations, an international jury will nominate the best artist for the Audi Art Award for New Positions, which comprises a one-artist show in the Cologne Artothek with a published catalogue, worth a total of €10,000.
The New Positions (New Talents) sponsorship programme is funded by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media, the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, Koelnmesse and the BVDG.
