Impressions of the 2021-edition at Alte Post
From 2–5 September, viennacontemporary presented a small, concentrated selection of 25 galleries from 10 countries focusing on exciting discoveries and up-and-coming positions from the CEE region. With around 6,000 visitors during the four days of the fair, the capacity limit of the location was reached. A wide range of daily public tours to longstanding partner galleries as well as galleries participating in the gallery festival “curated by“, performances and events at unique places in the city, such as the architectural jewel Amalienbad and the Belvedere Sculpture Garden, as well as exciting and relevant expert talks completed the extensive offer of the extended fair weekend.
