TALK WITH ANNEKE OELE AT ART AMSTERDAM 2008
The 24th edition of Art Amsterdam smacks of new taste. Since Anneke Oele became director, she has given a boost to the fair, which had fell into oblivion, and, as for exhibition quality, it is now at the top of the local market.

Within the current flooded market, the fair has created a niche for itself and has become an unavoidable meeting point in the agenda of gallery owners, curators and collectors from The Netherlands, Germany and France. There is a total of 125 galleries, 32 of which are foreign galleries from 6 different countries. Germany is especially represented at this fair and is playing an increasingly important role on the international scene.

Art Amsterdam is included in the art fair calendar along with other important events, such as Brussels and Cologne, which are all held at the same time in April, and have been competitors in recent years. On the other hand, Art Basel is held in June, a prestigious fair which has grown in the last years due to the increasing number of distinguished fairs and satellite fairs devoted to debutant galleries and the newest artistic proposals.
