In Karlsruhe, passion prompts people to buy art. Our consistently high numbers of visitors and the strong satisfaction expressed by visitors and exhibitors alike confirm our concept. We see ourselves as perhaps the most democratic of all art fairs: art KARLSRUHE adeptly builds a bridge between works by established artists on the one hand and less costly yet nonetheless artistically valuable positions that pave the way for new aficionados to begin collecting art.
Britta Wirtz, Managing Director of Karlsruhe Trade Fair Centre
The art KARLSRUHE takes place annually in Baden-Württemberg, one of the wealthiest German states, and benefits from its location in the border triangle of Germany, Switzerland and France.
Founded in 2004, the fair has established itself in a light-flooded ambience as a constant in the art world in the immediate vicinity of large collections such as Grässlin (St. Georgen), Schaufler (Sindelfingen) and Hoppe-Ritter (Waldenbuch), the Museum Würth
(Schwäbisch Hall, among others) or the Frieder Burda Foundation in Baden-Baden.
