Successful crossover of styles and erasThe inspirational combination of eras and styles, the steady increase in quality

and the open, elegant ambience: With a clear concept, Cologne Fine Art &

Antiques has re-established itself in recent years as the leading trade fair for the

art world. Year after year, there has been an increasing number of traditional

dealers returning, while the surfacing of new names is further enriching the

event. Covering a broad spectrum of content and facilitating the crossover of

modern art, the ancient masters, applied art, design and work on paper, the

Cologne Fine Art & Antiques is no longer just an event for Germany. The pre-

miere of the segment “Working on paper” has been positively received across

the board: successfully expanding on what is already offered.

At Cologne Fine Art & Antiques 2011, exhibitors met with an exceptionally knowl-

edgeable public, eager to make well-funded investments. The younger collectors,

in particular, were attracted to the extraordinary mixture in the halls. The prod-

ucts and services on offer, broadening the horizons of many an aficionado, were

well received by many collectors. The exhibitors reported good sales in all art and

price segments.

Cologne Fine Art & Antiques 2012 will continue to build on its previous successes.

Many of the regular exhibitors, as well as those returning or attending for the first

time, have already confirmed their wish to participate.

Do you want to benefit from this excellent platform, to present your high-quality

products or services to both new and existing customers? You are more than

welcome to join us in Cologne!

“Impressive connections between a variety

of art forms – COFAA delivers time and

time again. You can find ideas that go

beyond standard expectations in every

department and price segment.”

Handelsblatt, 18 November 2011

“The exquisite selection of art on offer

ranges from Classical Antiquity to the modern

age. Clever placing of neighbouring stands

and the use of joint exhibitions ensures

for encounters between different cultures

and eras.”

Informationsdienst Kunst, 24 November 2011

“The Cologne Fine Art & Antiques fair has

created a new section for ‘Works on Paper’.

As well as the consistently high quality of

the exhibits, the particular highlight of this

space is the immediate proximity of Old

Masters and large-format contemporary art.”

Handelsblatt, 18 November 2011

“An elegant, open art space is on offer here –

far from being a “mini-TEFAF”, COFAA proves

to be an arts fair in its own right. Focal points

are: paintings from the 19th and 20th centuries;

antique and contemporary furniture and handi-

crafts; silverware and china; art from outside

Europe; and contemporary design.”

FAZ, 19 November 2011

“There was a very elegant lustre to Cologne

Fine Art & Antiques. And that’s always a

good sign for a trade fair. COFAA intends to

overcome the imaginary divide between old

and modern art and there can be no doubt

it succeeded with its range of exhibits from

luxury Asian art through to contemporary

design.”

www.handelsblatt.com, 15 November 2011

“And it is this crossover that in turn will

ensure the success of the fair.”

Informationsdienst Kunst, 24 November 2011

“Will Cologne succeed in returning to its old

glory? The Cologne Fine Art & Antiques is

certainly playing its part, at any rate: with

generational leaps, solidity and a lavish

atmosphere. The crossover of eras from

the Iron Age to the eighties attracts a

wide audience – thereby even rivalling the

competitors in Paris and London.”
