Galleries at the Amsterdam Art Fair 2015
Amsterdam has a new art fair; The Amsterdam Art Fair, which was opened yesterday by Beatrice Ruf, director of the Stedelijk Museum. The Amsterdam Art Fair houses a selection of 40 galleries, according to AAF, representing the best of the Dutch contemporary art market. We, at Mimi Berlin, must agree, we had a great time! The fair is situated at the Kunsthal Citroën, located in the former Citroën garage/showroom, built in 1931 and designed by Jan Wils, at the Stadionplein in Amsterdam. The interior of the building is left untouched, Downstairs, in the actual garage, the remnants of the car workshop are beautifully incorporated in the sculpture exhibition. The galleries are presenting upstairs in the former, white and clean, car showroom. That’s were we took the snaps above; tables and chairs; or how to present your printed matter. (stay tuned for more posts later on this blog) Yes, we also took Party Snaps. ‘Cause we know you like that!! The fair will be open from May 27th until and including May 31st 2015 Wednesday 27 May from 5 pm – 9 pm Thursday 28 – Saturday 30 May from 11 am – 7 pm Sunday 31 May from 11 am – 5 pm Entrance; €10,- “A New Art Fair. Wim van Krimpen, former director of the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague and the Kunsthal Rotterdam, as well as the founder of the KunstRAI in 1984, thought it was about time for a new art fair: “With the reopening of the Rijksmuseum and the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam has regained its position as the cultural heart of the Netherlands. What Amsterdam now needs is a fair where quality in an international setting is key and where both, the experienced art connoisseur and the fledgling collector feel at home and make unique discoveries”.
