The 9th Art International Zurich will introduce current items of contemporary art. The main focus is based for the third time on visual art from Asia and outer Europe. The cultural importance of the city of Zurich is enriched and endorsed by 9 years Art International Zurich. Art International is the art fair in Zurich with a large international audience and exhibitors from around the world. The fair became a favourite of the public and an important economic factor for the Zurich region.
Art Seasons Lake Zurich brings fast-rising Chinese Artists to Art International Zurich 2007: As recently as 5 years ago only insiders of the international art scene knew that something hot was brewing in China. Then, driven through an explosion of demand from buyers and through widely published equally exploding auction results for a group of contemporary Chinese artists, Chinese contemporary art moved into the focus of the art world. Sotheby's, Christie's, and even more local auction houses like Koller seem to think that the Chinese will have a strong future in Europe as they diversify from New York and Hong Kong to London and Zurich. Initially, only 2-3 artists crossed the million US$ line with their achieved auction results.
Now this group has widened further to another half dozen artists and even prices up to 2-4 mill. US$ have been seen. Klaus Hammer of Art Seasons recalls that the artworks, which Art Seasons collected from artists like Zhang Xiaogang, and sold to customers at their opening exhibition of Art Seasons Beijing gallery in 2004 might now have a combined market value of several million US$ .
Now in 2007, for their first participation at Art International Zurich, the Art Seasons group has again pulled their long-established contacts with important Chinese artists and has assembled a collection of artworks which might have a similar potential. Feng Zhengjie, Zhao Nengzhi, Song Yonghong, Zhong Biao, Yang Mian, and Ma Liuming, which have already widely gained recognition, might be among the next group of Chinese mega-artists. Now their artworks are valued between 20'000 and 100,000 US$ .
With the still tremendous demand which can be expected from China's existing and upcoming millionaires it is almost a sure bet, that in a few years time some of these artists and their artworks might be valued many times higher.
South Korean contemporary art scene will be present for its 7th time at Art International Zurich (Minjoo Lee and Jung Galleries, Seoul, and Hari Gallery, Seoul).
BB Contemporary Switzerland shows the German/Swiss co-production of Alpengluehen Art Group (aag) and the Japanese multimedia artist Junko Matsumoto from Osaka with a series of new digital works titled "Beuys reloaded", including works by Art Wolf with a retrospective of historical photographs of Joseph Beuys.

Zurich has become an important centre for art. The situation of the event at the Kongresshaus is a very good located emplacement for new contacts with people from art and cultural life. Art is becoming very popular among ordinary people these days, because there is a new importance to "buy art" as a part of their lifestyles. The main benefits for people attending the event are new contacts with artists and galleries with their personal attendance.
For international and also domestic galleries and their wide range of artists this event is a contact between art buyers, art lovers and producers, as well as agents. A prestigious high-classed place amid the banking and gallery district directly at the lake of Zurich. The fact that the previous have been successful was due, among other things, to the mainly well-informed visitors, the friendly, close atmosphere, the great diversity of styles, the sophisticated level of the exhibited works and the internationality of the event. Since 1999 the event has shown a constant upwards trend.
The organizers' concept of presenting modern art of diverse styles in a central city location to a broad public has impressed visitors as much as exhibitors. One reason, why the fair has advanced to become a favourite of the public is the fact, that contemporary and avant-garde art is traded at a wide range of price level. The fair aims to promote communication, sales and contact between the exhibitors and the business, media, collectors and the public.
