In the 1990s, Cologne was a central hub of the European art scene, driven by pioneering galleries, a vibrant artist network, and a distinctive collector culture. In this panel discussion, Isabelle Graw, Diedrich Diederichsen, Andrea Fraser, Christian Nagel, and Monika Sprüth explore questions such as: What made Cologne so special in the 1990s, and which legacies endure today? How do today’s galleries and artists perceive Cologne in relation to Berlin, Basel, and other European centers? How is collecting evolving, and what might the next chapter look like for the city? Host is Hannes Loichinger.<br /><br />Cologne in the 1990s and Now is part of the Fair Enough podcast by Art Cologne & Texte zur Kunst, exploring how art and institutions respond to the urgencies of our times.<br /><br />Art Talk at Art Cologne 2025: Cologne in the 1990s and Now.
