Cologne Art Market ’71. – Portfolio for the 5th Cologne Art Market, 5–10 October 1971. The Cologne Art Market marked the beginning of a new chapter in the history of the art trade in 1967. As the world’s first international fair for modern art, it created a forum in which galleries could present contemporary art beyond institutional spaces and make it accessible to a wide audience. The inaugural event took place with eighteen exhibitors at the historic Gürzenich in Cologne and is today regarded as the birth of the global art fair scene and as the direct precursor to today’s Art Cologne. The initiative came from Hein Stünke, founder of Cologne’s Der Spiegel gallery, whose commitment played a decisive role in establishing a new dialogue between artists, gallery owners and collectors. The fifth edition of the art fair in 1971 featured 34 galleries, including Brusberg, Neuendorf, Der Spiegel and Zwirner. International participants included Ileana Sonnabend, Gian Enzo Sperone, Denise René (Paris, New York) and others – galleries that played a decisive role in the international networking of the avant-garde. - Missing: the work by Michelangelo Pistoletto (offset print on self-adhesive mirror film). (25 works and 1 vinyl record.) In: (Cologne Art Market ’71.) 1971. Various techniques on different types of paper. Various formats. Each inserted in an original double sheet of paper. All works (except for the offset by Barry Le Va) signed and numbered. Together with catalogue and double-page artist index in original box. - Missing: Michelangelo Pistoletto (offset on mirror foil). The box is slightly rubbed, the artist index has a crease mark, and the paper covers are slightly yellowed. The works are in very good condition. Exceptionally splendid prints, some velvety and rich in colour, others grainy and nuanced. - One of 300 copies. - Includes the iconic Rolling Stones ‘Sticky Fingers’ record in its first German pressing, featuring the cover by Andy Warhol – the famous jeans with the zip. - Published by the Association of Progressive German Art Dealers, Cologne Art Market ’71. - Founded in 1967, the Cologne Art Market was the world’s first international fair for modern art, marking a turning point in the presentation and circulation of contemporary art. Initiated by Hein Stünke, founder of the Cologne gallery Der Spiegel, the fair established a new platform for dialogue between artists, gallery owners and collectors – a model later adopted by art fairs around the globe and continued today as Art Cologne. The fifth edition in 1971 brought together 34 galleries, including Brusberg, Neuendorf, Der Spiegel and Zwirner. Among the international participants were Ileana Sonnabend, Gian Enzo Sperone and Denise René, all key figures in shaping the international avant-garde network.
