Cologne - even nails are driven into the walls, pictures hung, large and small sculptures built. On Tuesday launched the major art show Art Cologne - its 43rd Time and for the first time under Daniel Hug.
The new boss has slimmed down the fair robust: Beautifully presented clearly in Hall 11 188 Galeris th until Sunday its deals.
For example, Thomas von Salis from the Galerie Salis & Vertes. If you have to really attack him deep into the wallet, but it gets too real classics such as August Macke's "Still Life" (1910) for 1.25 million euros. Or "La partie de campagne" by Fernand Léger (1953/54) for 1.95 million euros.
For Bernard Venets sculpture "Three indeterminate lines" ( "Three infinite lines", 2005) we need coal (680,000 euros) and Space: An meters high and weighing several tons of metal spiral, which was built with a Lastenkran before the south entrance. Also great: Paul Hamm knows "No, what we feel" (12,000 euros), a paper mache sculpture of Klaus Kinski's head to the tail of a Chinese dragon.
Almost handy: Andrei Molodkin has Obama's slogan "Yes We Can" with Russian crude-oil filled (25,000 euros). Thomas von Salis (right) and Philippe David a 1.95 million Euro expensive painting by Fernand Léger to hang.
