Art has an enormously high status in Düsseldorf, its institutions and many artists enjoy a worldwide reputation. The art market also influences the economic prosperity of the state capital.

From 12 to 14 April 2024, Art Düsseldorf will once again open its doors at the Areal Böhler. Exhibition director Walter Gehlen spoke to VIVID about the development and profile of the unique event, the importance of art in a crisis-ridden world and how art can also influence a company.

Daniela Steinfeld founded VAN HORN 20 years ago as an artists' space named after a small town in Texas. The Düsseldorf-based artist has been a gallery owner for 15 years, showing talents such as Anys Reimann, Elisabeth Vary and Jan Albers at two locations in Flingern and Lierenfeld and at international art fairs. In her podcast Voices on Art, Daniela Steinfeld talks to international artists and gallery owners about art. In VIVID she gives an insight into the work of a gallery owner.
