The design sense is different from the US. I've always liked German magazines and poster designs, and have used them as inspiration. It's a refreshing to see what other artist are doing with their work and their unique use of materials. Recycling in Style: Scrap metal instruments; Shoes from kimono silk; Art made out of trash.
There's the Art Cologne is the world’s longest-running fair for contemporary, modern and post-war art. The 2010 director Daniel Hug says, "...it's probably the most comprehensive look at the avant-garde from the last hundred years, or the last 110 years, in one place. The Art Cologne is really two fairs. On the ground level we have a more conservative, blue chip, secondary dealer fair of galleries that present modern art, post-war art. And then upstairs we have the second fair which is really a contemporary art fair. Very few of the collectors from either fair cross over. But a few do, so the crossover is kind of nice."
It's nice to know that Daniel Hug also wants, "to focus not only on the classical modern and the post-war... but also to work and support a new generation, the young generation that's maybe shifting away from Berlin, that wants to have its own identity, that's not necessarily getting into the other fairs.
