Spanning a spectrum from Classical Modernism to the latest works of Contemporary art, the artworks at art KARLSRUHE are thematically assigned to the four halls of the Karlsruhe Trade Fair Centre. This thematic arrangement facilitates orientation and presents artworks from an approximately 120-year timespan in their correct art-historical sequence. Visitors can immerse themselves in the world of Classical Modernism in Hall 3: from German Expressionism as represented by galleries such as Henze & Ketterer (Wichtrach near Bern / Riehen near Basel), Ludorff (Düsseldorf) or Thole Rotermund (Hamburg), to international abstraction à la Calder, Chillida, Corbusier, Feininger or Picasso, the pioneers of their styles can be seen here in large numbers. Hall 3 alone hosts circa 70 exhibitors, including Koch-Westenhoff (Lübeck), Kunstkontor Möllers (Münster), Schlichtenmaier (Grafenau/Stuttgart) and Schwarzer (Düsseldorf), who present an enormous diversity that’s rarely encountered even in museums.

From Informal art, through the Zero Movement, to Pop Art: Visitors in Hall 3 can also find works by many artists of the postwar generation that invented Informal Art in the late 1940s and 1950s. Spontaneous, gestic paintings from this era will be offered for sale by galleries such as Maulberger (Munich) and Zellermayer (Berlin). The showing of nonrepresentational art, as well as its contentual extension into the present day, continues vis-à-vis in Hall 2: galleries such as Baumgarten (Freiburg), Döbele (Mannheim/Dettelbach near Würzburg) and Nothelfer (Berlin) have long numbered among art KARLSRUHE’s participants.

Hall 2, which is dedicated to Modern Classicism (after 1945), hosts over 70 additional exhibitors ranging from Michael Schultz (Berlin), through Ernst Hilger (Vienna), to Meyer Riegger (Karlsruhe): they and their colleagues offer a broad spectrum of established Contemporary art ranging from Informal art, through artworks from the Zero Movement and Pop Art, to tendencies from the area of Concrete art. Several of these gallerists present special and rarely encountered positions such as Realism or Neo-Expressionism.

Fresh from the atelier: Immediately adjacent in Hall 1, visitors will find special exhibits and the Museum Mile, and can also purchase graphics, photographs and multiples, including numerous affordably priced artworks. Needless to say, bargains such as these also await discovery in the dm-arena/Hall 4, where “ContemporaryArt 21” presents many pieces that were created very recently. (red)

Anlaufstelle in Pune

 

Die Kooperation zwischen Karlsruhe und dem indischen Pune ist einen Schritt weiter: Im Januar 2014 wurde im "MCCIA Trade Tower", 403, Senapati Bapat Road, eine direkte Karlsruher Anlaufstelle mit den Repräsentantinnen Iris Becker und Winnie Kulkarni von "Let's Bridge IT" in Pune eröffnet.

Durch Erfolg und Ausbau der vielfältigen Aktivitäten - ob Infos rund um den Standort Karlsruhe, aktiv Kontakte zu indischen Firmen halten oder deutsche Firmen aus der TRK in und um Pune bekannter machen - erfolgte im März 2018 ein Umzug in neue Räumlichkeiten, auch durch die Erweiterung um die Repräsentanz des Landes Baden-Württembergs in Maharashtra sowie das Marketingbüro der „Hochschul Föderation Südwest“.
