Mike Litt in conversation with Walter Gehlen

How's it going, Düsseldorf?

Our podcast "Alle Rhein" is our platform for everyone who makes sure that you are almost constantly surrounded by culture in Düsseldorf - whether on a small or large scale. Our host Mike Litt talks to his guests about the most exciting projects and finds out what artists, event organizers and other creative people love about their city and where they like to be in their private lives.
In episode 39, Mike talks to Walter Gehlen, Director of Art Düsseldorf.

In just a few years - and despite the pandemic - the fair has established itself as one of the world's most important hotspots for art. Alongside Art Cologne, which has been held regularly since 1967, and the major art fairs in Basel and Miami, Art Düsseldorf is a meeting place for art collectors from all over the world. The special location on the large Areal Böhler in Düsseldorf and the digital presentation of the fair are the perfect combination to draw the attention of art enthusiasts - wherever they are - to Düsseldorf or to be there live on site. 

In this episode of Alle Rhein!, Art Düsseldorf Director Walter Gehlen talks to host Mike Litt about how to buy art at the fair even on a small budget. Even those who don't want to buy art will find out why a visit to Art Düsseldorf is definitely worthwhile and guaranteed to be affordable.
