From Zürich
For Zürich
Switzerland, and Zürich in particular, offer galleries excellent working conditions for successfully pursuing activities in a liberal market environment. Due to the country's central geographic location, multilingualism, political stability, legal security and a one of a kind buying power, Switzerland play a leading role in the global art market. Furthermore, Zürich has an established and globally recognized cluster of galleries, off-spaces, art-oriented educational institutions, collections and museums.
The Art Salon Zürich delights its audience with exciting and collectible art in the field of modern and contemporary art mostly created after 1945 (post war).
The
Location
The Art Salon Zurich takes place at Halle 622 in Zurich Oerlikon. Halle 622 is located in a dynamic development area in the northern part of Zurich, which is well connected to public transportation and only a few minutes away from Oerlikon train station. With its proximity to the city center, diverse infrastructure, and parking options in the vicinity, Halle 622 is the perfect venue for our Art Salon Zurich.
International art fair dedicated to modern and contemporary art.
What
The fair is a hybrid platform that combines a physical show with temporarily reoccurring digital initiatives that complement one another, always highlighting and strengthening the importance of a sustainable dialogue, 365 days a year. The fair is regionally rooted and internationally connected.
Any art fair these days that specializes in classical modernism, contemporary art is bound to live mainly from the responsibility and commitment to quality of the participating galleries. First-rate works of art and outstanding artistic positions presented with care and discernment are the key to maintaining consistently high standards. Second, the future of art fairs is likely to be determined by their boutique character and “glocal” approach, catering to a strong foundation of regional collectors. In addition, genuine hospitality and a determination to share with visitors of collectors a passion for art in all its permutations are crucial for the success of the fair.
The concept of the new Art Salon Zürich takes all these requirements into account and promises to be an innovative platform for galleries and dealers alike. Its focus is first and foremost on supply-side needs, its ultimate aim being to enhance their presence on the art market and to connect them with their target audiences. Art Salon Zürich will turn the spotlight on Zürich as an open, high-powered, and receptive art hub.
