ART COLOGNE 2011 –
Highlights of modern and contemporary
art
Art lovers and collectors will find a broad

covering all movements. The most exciting highlights this year
include works from artists who will also be shown in some of
the nearby museums of the region, such as Joel Shapiro, Thomas
Struth, Arnulf Rainer, Heinz Mack, Lucie Stahl, Otto Dix, Tony
Cragg. Among others Karsten Greve (Cologne/ St. Moritz/ Paris)
has high-calibre bronze by the New Yorker artist Joel Shapiro
(Untitled, 2010) who is currently shown at the Museum Ludwig,
Cologne; Karsten Greve and Hauser + Wirth (London/New

artist Louise Bourgeois. Annely Juda Fine Art (London) will
bring blue chip staples including Anthony Caro and David

fair, hence Kewenig (Cologne/ Palma de Mallorca) offers
museum-quality works of the Belgium artist such as „Japanese
Flying Pak 3“ (2001). Lelong (Paris/Zurich) will bring works
by Jannis Kounellis, who will also be on view in the Galerie

trends in contemporary art. Hence, Jack Hanley (New York) is

place for young emerging galleries and its studio-fresh art
