Discovery Art Fair Edition
Exhibitor information and prices
Exhibitors Seminar
Our Gallery and Artist Sections Present the Variety of Contemporary Fine Art
As a new fair celebrating its first edition in 2018, Discovery Art Fair Frankfurt has set an objective to become the key forum for new, progressive and promising contemporary galleries and artists. Looking beyond the city borders, the art fair aims to bring together up-and-coming galleries and creatives from around the international art world, thus becoming the prime spot for collectors who seek something new. Our Gallery and Artists Sections will give our featured national and international art professionals and the public an opportunity to explore a wide range of contemporary artworks, from painting, drawing and sculpture to large-scale installations and innovative mixed-media pieces.
A team of curators gathered around the idea to launch the Discovery Art Fair as the most exciting young art fair in the area. Each of them brought their individual vision of the contemporary art market, seasoned with experience, forward thinking and diversity. The quality of the exhibited work is therefore secured, allowing the event to quickly establish itself as a fair of discovery.
Discover the Contemporary Art Scene at the Art Fair Ruled by Diversity
The largest area of the Discovery Art Fair is reserved for contemporary fine art. Designed to reflect the variety of art presented, this part of the fair will host a selection of art galleries, with a special segment designated to single artist booths. Roaming through the Contemporary Fine Art portion, we expect collectors and art lovers to learn about the latest trends in the international art scene, but also to find their way to their absolutely favorite piece of art. The section aims to present art without boarders, unburdened by tradition or by a background of the artist. It's focused mainly on elevating each single artwork in order to find their match within the collecting crowd.
In Contact with Exhibitors, Engaging with Visitors
We hope to open the doors of the art world wide to the public and to ignite the conversation between different art specialists and our visitors. We wish to show that the world of arts is a fine place to be, an inspirational pool where any interested art lover can find and purchase their favorite artwork at an affordable price. Welcome to the new era of art collecting!
With focus on emerging contemporary art and the rejuvenation of the international art market, the art fair hopes to spark the interest of long-time collectors and first-time buyers alike. Viewing the art show, the collectors will be able to define their search and find the right additions to their collections without overspending. We would love to satisfy both the requirements set by experienced buyers and the curiosity of the new ones. Contemporary art at affordable price is equally attractive to all, especially with knowledge that the quality is vouched for.

Q: window.removeEventListener not working in Angular I can't for the life of me find out, why the eventlistener isn't removed on the mouseup event. I have already tried a lot of different things, but I can't remove it.
The function that creates the eventListeners:
dragKnob(event: MouseEvent) {
    window.addEventListener('mousemove', this.drag);
    window.addEventListener('mouseup', this.stopDrag);
}

drag:
drag(event: MouseEvent) {
    const bar = document.getElementById('chosenBar');
    console.log('Percent: ' + (event.clientX - bar!.getBoundingClientRect().left) / bar!.offsetWidth);
}

stopDrag (where I'm trying to remove the eventListeners but without luck):
stopDrag() {
    console.log('Stopped drag');
    window.removeEventListener('mousemove', this.drag);
    window.removeEventListener('mouseup', this.stopDrag);
}

The console.log in stopDrag is executed, but the eventlisteners isn't removed.

Now playing in cinemas
In Cinemas Now
Sundance Grand Jury Prize-nominated documentary examining the dynamics at play in pricing blue chip art pieces.
"Basquiat paintings regularly fetch tens of millions of dollars, and the recent sale of a little-known Da Vinci topped $450 million — but what forces are driving the white-hot art market? Who assigns and who pays these astronomical sums? What currency adequately measures art's value? The Price of Everything leads us into a rarefied labyrinth of galleries, studios, and auction houses to wrestle with these questions and explore what society loses and gains when art becomes a rich person's commodity." (Sundance Film Festival)
Times/Tickets
Cinemas Closest to You
Nathaniel Kahn('My Architect')
Documentary, Festival & Independent
Rating: M Coarse language and nudity
Aaron Yap
Watching The Price of Everything invites feelings of aggravation toward the art world. You want to hate the obscenely rich snapping up multi-million-dollar artworks for their own private collection. You want to hate the slimy wheelers-and-dealers who might else well be trading stock. You want to hate the artists who crank out pieces like they're making designer handbags.
But director Nathaniel Kahn—perhaps realising the contemporary art market is the easiest, most obvious thing to skewer (looking at you Velvet Buzzsaw)—approaches the subject from an open, genuinely curious, rather than sneeringly critical, place. We're afforded the chance to ponder, along with him, the paradoxical, uneasy, but decidedly fascinating union of art and commerce.
Kahn finds an accessible way in by paralleling the career paths of two artists. Up in the art-elite stratosphere is Jeff Koons, a former Wall Street broker whose shiny, slick objects of desire continue to fetch bids around the price range of your average blockbuster movie. Away from the bustling auction houses, there's Larry Poons, a forgotten 81-year-old relic from the '60s toiling away on a batch of abstract paintings in his remote Catskills garage ("A lot of people have thought I was dead for a long time," he tells Kahn).
If your art isn't going under the hammer, is it even great? Kahn's documentary doesn't arrive at any definitive answers. It examines the question from various contexts, gathering thoughtful responses from critics, historians, auctioneers, curators, dealers and artists into a slight but buoyant, absorbing survey of a complicated, increasingly inseparable relationship.
An entertaining if not comprehensive look at the bubble in blue-chip art.
[A] brilliant and captivating documentary about how the art world got converted into a money market...
There's something so fluid, almost nebulous, about its construction that a chasm starts to open up where you would expect to find some kind of unifying thesis.
While this colorful and inquisitive cinematic essay on the state of the art world is occasionally skeptical and consistently thoughtful, cynicism isn't really on its agenda.
Kahn is a quiet filmmaker, and he gently prods his sources to go beyond the typical art world hyperbole of "gorgeous" and "wonderful."
TimeOut (London)
An intelligent film, 'The Price of Everything' is also very funny - usually on purpose, though some of the art is ridiculous.
Cool and nominally neutral, there is nonetheless a genius use of one scene from Martin Scorsese's grim and glossily-reproachful The Wolf of Wall Street that makes the director's feelings on the subject crystal clear.
I walked into The Price of Everything not knowing who Larry Poons was and walked out quite besotted with the lovable old goat.

Wash gets to pitch with Lahair in LF and Morse at 3B. That should be fun.
Evan on March 6th, 2009 10:01 am
Let's see if he can keep his ERA under Batista's (54.00) so far.
bakomariner on March 6th, 2009 10:03 am
I think (hope) Batista will get the can before they break camp…he's about as done as you can be…
The Phillies took a huge hit on money by releasing Eaton; Z. should do the same thing…
Alex on March 6th, 2009 10:42 am
ERA based on 1/3 of an inning is hardly useful.
Yes, it's just a playful comparison.
But that doesn't stop it from being funny.
Yeah,54 ERA is pretty funny.
But I really hope that we can use Batista in a way that he will appear to have some value, so that we can unload him onto some other team.

Paul B on March 6th, 2009 12:14 pm
re the reports that they are trying to get Yuni to take some pitches and be selective at the plate, thinking how hard it is to convince a player that everything he's been taught is wrong.
I get this mental image of Squidward saying to a drooling Spongebob: "empty your mind… empty your mind of everything that doesn't have to do with selective hitting. Hitting strikes and breathing."
Morse just made what Dave N called an error at first, but it was scored a hit.
Wash getting lit up in the first so far.
End of the first, A's up 2 – 1.
joser on March 6th, 2009 12:33 pm
See, that's perfect: we get to see the consequences of bad fielding and have it assigned to Washburn. (No wonder Washburn is a flyball pitcher, balls on the ground don't help him anyway).
That said, Dave just said Gutierrez made a great catch, so there you go.
bakomariner on March 6th, 2009 12:35 pm
Box score on mlb.com says 2-0 A's…
Yes, 2 – 0, my mistake. Trying to multitask.
Washburn didn't make it out of the second inning. Only 1 and a third innings.
So there goes his "scoreless" innings streak…
scott19 on March 6th, 2009 12:48 pm
What I got a chuckle out of was when Niehaus, a little while ago, made a reference to how "some people out there" were a little upset when the M's swept the A's at the end of the season — as it cost them the chance to take Strasburg first in the draft.
Always love it when the blogosphere gets a "hey now" of sorts from ole' Uncle Dave. 🙂
7 hits and 4 earned runs for Wash, in 1.3 innings.
Although one of the hits should have been an error. But still, not good.
I think (hope) Batista will get the can before they break camp…he's about as done as you can be…
The Phillies took a huge hit on money by releasing Eaton; Z. should do the same thing…
Actually, Batista might make a good fit with the Phils…they do have a history of signing washed-up closers, after all.
Well, that's not a bad line for Wash…
…it's terrible!
6-4-3 on March 6th, 2009 1:02 pm
So is ERA the only official stat that can go to infinity (i.e., giving up earned runs without retiring anyone)?

I blame Kenji…. uhm wait a moment.
bakomariner on March 6th, 2009 1:09 pm
It's not Wash's fault! He has no run support! If his offense would just have scored him 5 runs in the first two innings, he'd be fine…
scott19 on March 6th, 2009 1:13 pm
I think The Bus is about ready to be towed out to the boneyard.
The box score has Wash hitting Giambi twice…seriously? That's horrible…
msb on March 6th, 2009 1:19 pm
Well, Ja. Giambi is still a pretty big target …
TomTuttle on March 6th, 2009 1:21 pm
C'mon Mariners, just eat the money, release Washburn, and take us out of our misery.
R-R Smith is a better starter than Washburn for cryin' out loud!

Always love it when the blogosphere gets a "hey now" of sorts from ole' Uncle Dave.
I'd love to know what 'blogosphere' means to Dave–is it just comments on the Times/P-I boards…or even distant outposts like USSM? I wonder what he reads.
Has there ever been consideration of hosting an event with the broadcasters in addition to what's been done with the front office types? Not to learn so much from them as for them to learn from/about USSM/LL.
Giambi, Holliday, Nomar…what's with the A's collecting this many (formerly) big names?
BTW, that's now 3-for-3 in the HBP department for Giambi on the day…

To answer a question with a question, wouldn't it be just too cool if Dave N. could make a special guest appearance at a USSM feed? 😉

Washburn speaks, per Baker Blog:
Went downstairs to the clubhouse to hear from Washburn. He sort of laughed off his performance and said he got tired near the end.
"Well, I got my work in," he said. "I don't think it was really as bad as it looked."
Please stop laughing and get out of the rotation
Yeah, there are "times in the season when you struggle", Jarrod…
Like about 30 out of 32 starts.
wabbles on March 6th, 2009 2:07 pm
Guys! Guys! You're forgetting The Master Plan. We want Washburn to shine (or at least not stink up the place) during spring training and beyond thanks to our improved defense. Then we can unload him on some unlucky team. (We aren't going to just cut him.) Outings like today's aren't helping.
joser on March 6th, 2009 2:19 pm
We want him to shine in games that count. He's not going to shine if he's pitching away from Safeco without Endy and Ichiro in the outfield. Of course, he could help his case by not sucking, too.
Giambi is currently #3 on the HBP active leaderboard. You think he sports that .408 lifetime OBP because he's fast? 😉
Great, Blowers says his interpretation from talking to Wakamatsu is that Griffey will play the outfield whenever he can. Sigh.
CMC_Stags on March 6th, 2009 2:22 pm
R-R Smith is a better starter than Washburn for cryin' out loud!
How do you figure? Based on his 12 MLB starts?
I'm not saying that RRS might not be better, but that's a pretty emphatic statement that I'm just not sure the stats support. While RRS's projections at Fangraphs are better than Washburn – FIP between 4.01 and 4.24 compared to Washburn's range of 4.61 to 4.7 – a large part of those projections are based on relief appearances.
Given a full year of starting for both, I'm not sure that RRS would be better by a significantly significant margin by the end of the season. If that's the case, then see what, if anything Washburn can do to rebuild his value and then trade him. Cutting him for nothing is not an efficient use of the team's resources right now.
Yes, and you don't want to burn out RRS early… especially if you can find a taker for Washburn at the trade deadline.
Yes, and you don't want to burn out RRS early… especially if you can find a taker for Washburn at the trade deadline.
Ya, I can see the other 29 teams lining up for Washburn's services right now!
Well, Wash would probably the #1 or 2 starter in the Nationals' superstar rotation.
Alex on March 6th, 2009 3:12 pm
Ouch, 12 runs. What happened?
At least Washburn's Era is lower than Batista's. But with 4 runs in 1.1 innings the result is actually worse.
It just sucks when you read lines like Washburn's, because you want to try to get yourself optimistic for 2009, you really do.
But really, I'm much more excited for 2010 and 2011 right now than I am for '09.
And of course, who knows how many of our minor leaguers will even pan out?
Even if rebuilding is the right thing to do, it still sucks.
The huge difference between RRS and Washburn is, of course, about $9 million a season (and that RRS still has some potential to get better).
qwerty on March 6th, 2009 5:27 pm
He obviously came to camp in shape. Midseason form already!
Breadbaker on March 6th, 2009 10:46 pm
Well, if we take that literally, shouldn't that mean that he'll never play there?
Breadbaker on March 7th, 2009 3:39 am
Am I the only one watching the JPN-KOR WBC game? Ichiro is 3-3 with three runs scored and a stolen base, Kenji is 1-2 with a run scored and the home team is up 9-2 in the 4th. Despite the score, the intensity of the atmosphere is amazing. I'm not sure there has ever been a game played in March where the teams cared as much as these players obviously do.
But Lord do I hate the screen in the Tokyo Dome which the camera has to look through.
TomTuttle on March 7th, 2009 4:10 am
Kenji is 1-2 with a run scored and the home team is up 9-2 in the 4th.
Whoop-de-doo.
Johjima = past his prime
Clement = the future
I don't care what kind of crap Super Mario, Bros. along with Chuck and Howard make you think. We should have NEVER re-signed Johjima, period.
I just thank god Z and Wak are here and the 'Age Of Common Sense' in Mariners baseball is likely beginning.
ndrfx on March 7th, 2009 9:03 am
Woohoo, Kenji and Ichiro killed in WBC today!
joser on March 7th, 2009 9:51 am
Well, if we take that literally, shouldn't that mean that he'll never play there?
Well, yeah, but I think they may be using a different interpretation of "can."
I don't care what kind of crap Super Mario, Bros. along with Chuck and Howard make you think. We should have NEVER re-signed Johjima, period.
That's completely true and mostly irrelevant. As bad as the contract is, it's signed; as much of a dead-end as Kenji may be, he's on the roster. It's not a question of them "making us think" something — you're preaching to the choir here, and I'm not sure why you're insulting us by assuming otherwise. But given that there's no sign the team intends to cut its losses and release Johjima from his contract, and there's no sign Johjima will elect to void it and return with dignity to Japan, the guy is on the team… so shouldn't we be hoping that he finds some miraculous source of rebound and does as well as possible?
I'm a bigger proponent of Clement than most, but I'd rather have two plus-offense catchers than one. I'd rather have the team not have a huge drop-off when Clement isn't behind the plate (which may be more often than we'd like if he's still rehabbing that knee). So I'd rather have Kenji put up some good numbers. Yes, there might be a long-term benefit to having Kenji absolutely crater this year in a way that causes him to retire from the team by the end of the season, but I want the team to win as many games as possible this year too.

Bonhams to Auction Chrysler-Ghia Concepts and More
A troika of custom and coach-built Mopars can be yours in January

When it comes to American cars of the 1950s, few designers are mentioned in the same breath as Virgil Exner. As Chrysler Corporation's chief designer from the 1950s, he pulled the company from its stick-in-the-mud reputation with 1955's Forward Look, then followed it up with a 1957 revamp that turned the industry on its side and, in particular, made General Motors jealous to no end.
Chrysler's style prowess also was demonstrated by several Exner-designed show cars, especially those coming from Carrozzeria Ghia. Most were one-offs, though several from the early 1950s were built in very small numbers. One of those one-offs, a 1957 Chrysler Ghia Super Dart 400, will have the opportunity to change caretakers at Bonhams in January 2023.
The Super Dart 400 was based on the 1956 Chrysler Dart show car (which was subsequently reconfigured as the Diablo). The following model year, a Chrysler 300-C chassis was shipped to Turin to become the Super Dart 400, equipped with 400-horsepower 392 Hemi (ten more than the top engine available for the 300-C). The fascinating part of the history of this vehicle actually comes afterwards, as the car was paraded around by Dual-Motors of Dual-Ghia fame. In 1958, the Super Dart 400 was then sold to a wealthy private individual to the tune of $15,000, with this gentleman driving it for 38,000 miles over 19 years. Today, the Super Dart 400 maintains its original paint, chrome and upholstery, a fantastic piece of 1950s American style and Italian coachwork.
Dual-Motors, of course, built a handful of luxury hybrid convertibles based on the Dodge 1955 Firebomb by Ghia. Produced from 1956-58, the 117 cars (plus two coupes) were popular with the Jet Set, with another Ghia-based vehicle following for 1960-62: the Ghia L6.4, a sleek hybrid luxury coupe that brought the design of the previous-generation car into the 1960s. For $13,000, a buyer would receive a coach-built Italian coupe with a 335-horsepower Chrysler 383 V8 (rated 10 horses higher than the stock engine) and distinction in spades. Interestingly, air conditioning was optional.
This particular example features the stock headlight/parking light configuration but, if you peruse online images, you may catch one of the eight out of 26 cars modified by Barris Kustom Industries with European-style headlights.
The third Ghia car set to hit the block at Bonhams is one of those handful of Chrysler Ghia cars that were built in limited quantities, this one the 1954 GT-1 Coupé. Based on a 125.5-inch wheelbase New Yorker chassis and powered by a 235-horsepower 331 Hemi and PowerFlite automatic. The story goes that the 1952 Chrysler Special by Ghia inspired a one-off for C.B. Thomas, President of Chrysler's export division. That in turn led to the limited-edition versions of that and the GS-1. This particular GS-1 is a triple Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance participant and it, along with the Ghia L6.4 and the Super Dart 400 above, will be auctioned as part of the John White Ramshead Collection by Bonhams in January.
Diego Rosenberg
Lead Writer Diego Rosenberg is a native of Wilmington, Delaware and Princeton, New Jersey, giving him plenty of exposure to the charms of Carlisle and Englishtown. Though his first love is Citroen, he fell for muscle cars after being seduced by 1950s finned flyers—in fact, he's written two books on American muscle. But please don't think there is a strong American bias because foreign weirdness is never far from his heart. With a penchant for underground music from the 1960-70s, Diego and his family reside in the Southwest.
