"For the first time in many years, we have all the good Austrian galleries here!" says Francesca Gavin, the new artistic director of Viennacontemporary, highlighting the fair's diversity and growth. The event, showcasing 98 galleries compared to last year’s 61, emphasizes Vienna’s role as a hub for Eastern European and international art. This year, a third of galleries are Austrian, another third from Eastern Europe, underscoring Vienna's unique position as a central meeting point for collectors and artists alike."
"Annamaria Molnár, of the Budapest-based Ani Molnár Gallery, showcases geometrical works by Tamás Konok from the 1970s and 80s. She reported strong interest and sales for smaller pieces priced between €2,800 and €23,000. Konok, with his international reputation, also appeals to the local Viennese market, indicating the interconnectedness of regional art scenes and the unique opportunities presented by Viennacontemporary for Hungarian artists and collectors alike."
Lizaveta German from Kyiv's The Naked Room expresses how easy it was for her gallery to participate in Viennacontemporary: "We just put the works in the car and drove." This accessibility highlights the informal yet professional aspect of the fair, encouraging collaboration among regional galleries and presenting a humorous, approachable perspective on the often elite world of contemporary art.
