The discovery Art Fair

The 14th Berliner Liste, the largest Berlin Art Fair, will place in September, from 15th to 17th 2017, at one of the most important historic venues in the city – Postbahnhof. Berlin’s biggest and longest established art fair showcased affordable, innovative and contemporary artwork. Berliner Liste unites galleries and individual artists under one roof, giving them a wonderful opportunity to exhibit their art and share their visions – last year, we hosted 112 exhibitors from 25 countries. Entering the doors of our fair, more than 10.000 visitors stepped onto a journey of discovery, where contemporary art meets traditional and classical, where artists have the opportunity to meet potential buyers, make new gallery acquaintances, and enjoy the exciting ambiance. Along with the Berlin Art Week, the Berliner Liste, once again, proves that Berlin rightfully has a reputation of the world’s most cutting-edge artistic center, as well as the Berlin’s artists justify their limelight positions.

Spotlight Positions for Young Emerging Artists

The core idea of the Berliner Liste is to make art affordable and exciting. Exhibiting the budget friendly and modestly extravagant artworks, the fair gives visitors a chance to explore, meet artists and go on a journey of discovery. Over the years the fair evolved, grew and developed, but the main idea stayed the same – the mission is to exhibit the latest editions of contemporary paintings, graphic art, illustrations, sculptures, new and classic photography, large-scale pieces and small pocket edition artworks, and to make art affordable again. Berliner Liste has experienced collectors on board, as well as the art students, first-time visitors, critiques, amateurs, and culture thrill seekers. The special convenience of the fair is the location, the vast space perfectly organized and spread across the 4000 sqm, wide enough for comfortable strolling and big enough to host international and local galleries, solo artists, and several project groups.

There are three main sections of the fair. Aside from the Contemporary Fine Art section, there are also Photography and Urban Art sections. The last year’s addition to the fair, the Urban Art section will play a great part in promoting an open and friendly philosophy of art, where elitism and rigidness do not exist, and where talent mustn’t be disputed based on its origin. Street art entered the galleries big time, and at the 14th edition of Berliner Liste, it will reach the Postbahnhof doors. Since the beginning of street art, the exciting graffiti era of the 70’s, urban art has been escaping the possibility of being defined, it just kept on spreading, from the tagging to lettering, all the way to magnificent murals, political stencils and spray painting. The bare roots of urban art are set in the notion that artist has the freedom of expression that overcomes the society’s definition of art and creativity.

Urban Art · Bringing the Message from the Streets

Defined in the underground, and perfected in the subways, on factory walls, stairwells, bridges, and nonetheless gallery walls, street art has a unique advantage, that it resonates with the common man, the random bystander, the rebel, the explorer, or the experienced collector with a vision. The policy of Berliner Liste is to be as supportive as possible to the new emerging artist, whether they are graffiti masters or art student studying the oil on canvas technique. Berliner Liste has a mission of bringing together the fresh, innovative, young, current and recent art, and not just bring it together, but organize it and display it in a fitting light. Visitors will have the opportunity to take home stencils, drawings collages, silkscreen prints and photographs, and learn about different painting tools, graffiti styles, language and alternative street codes, tagging, and lines. The curator of the Urban Art section is Guillaume Trotin, director of the OPEN WALLS Gallery.

Photography in Focus

This is one of the biggest motives for the organization of the fair, to be able to play an integral part in artistic development and evolvement, in order to make the manifestation evolve itself. The great thing about the consistency of improvement is the recognition, so the fair can grow like it did this year with a fresh new segment, the Urban Art section. The similar instance occurred in 2013, at the 10th edition of Berliner Liste, when the Photography section was introduced. Curated by Stefan Maria Rother, author, and photographer, the Photography section brings the freshest and most interesting gallery and individual works in focus. The city of Berlin is known for great street art, design, fashion, experimental photography, and the renowned galleries that specify in this medium all across the city. Carefully chosen, the exhibited pieces will give the viewer a great pleasure of finding the favorite photo, which they could carry home and enjoy its subject in the new light.

Last year the BERLINER LISTE 2016, with 112 exhibitors from 25 countries, included paintings, sculptures, drawings and graphic art, photography, installations, light art, video, and performance.
