Around three dozen national and international exhibitors present a select selection of works of art, from old masters and classical sculptures to contemporary art and design objects. MyDistrict reports that this not only strengthens interest in the art market, but also focuses on a combination of tradition and innovation.

The fair, which has existed for over 50 years, offers a wide range of works of art. Among the participants are well-known galleries such as the Galerie bei der Albertina and the Zetter Galerie, which will present their rarities and fine jewelry.

As the art market has continued to develop in recent years, interest in artifacts and works of art across all art eras is growing.

According to information from Statista Contemporary art and works by artists like Andy Warhol are particularly popular.

More and more collectors and investors are discovering the advantages of purchasing works of art. The high demand is reflected in the variety of pieces on offer during the fair.
