At Art Cologne 2024, Galerie VIVID presents works by Gerrit Rietveld, Marianne Brandt, Piet Tuytel, Gerd Arntz, Tomas Rajlich, and Bobo Bonies, among others. In this video, director Aad Krol shows us some highlights of Galerie VIVID's booth at Art Cologne.
Galerie VIVID at Art Cologne 2024. Cologne (Germany), November 9, 2024.
Galerie VIVID has been founded 25 years ago in the center of Rotterdam by Saskia Copper and Aad Krol. “With 140 exhibitions and 50 fairs, VIVID tells an unique story. It was one of the first to show contemporary design and contemporary art side by side. The exhibitions provide a platform for important contemporary artists and designers. Also artists and designers from the 20th century, who played an important role and whose work is still relevant today, are presented at VIVID. It organised, among other things, two Rietveld retrospectives, a Bauhaus exhibition in 2019 and recently a major Interbellum 1919-1939 overview. VIVID has been participating fairs for more than 15 years.
After 2019, partly due to the changing situation in the world, VIVID's focus has shifted more towards Art. VIVID still distinguishes itself by showing that there is an area in art and design that overlaps these two disciplines. This intermediate area has been VIVID's focus for 25 years now and will continue to do so in the future.” (source: Galerie VIVID).

00:00Yeah, what you're showing, are you showing this time at Art Cologne?
00:12This is our third time at Art Cologne and we're, the biggest thing you right away see
00:18is the blue work by Bob Bonis, 87 years old, and made especially for here.
00:25The other thing is the Rietveld child's barrel, that's real rare, there are only a few made.
00:45Here's the big work by Bonis, here's the Rietveld wheelbarrow.
00:51And also special is from the Bauhaus, we have Marianne Brandt, and this she made for a factory,
01:04Ruppelwerk, and she said well you can have better stuff than what you're now showing,
01:12and this is her Bauhaus ideas worked for that factory.
01:20Also to remind in what time we are living, we have this work from 1958, by Gerd Arntz.
01:28Gerd Arntz was a German artist who also was in two world wars, and in 1958 there was the
01:41Algerian war, and he made this picture about the Algerian war, and he called it Semper
01:48idem, always the same, so he thought okay there we go again with the same story.
01:56Then if we go here, a young German artist, Maike Hemmers, who lives in Rotterdam, she
02:13made this also new work, and it's made of pastel.
02:43This is by Piet Tijthol, that's also a Dutch sculptor, and here you see a classical Marcel
02:54Breuer table and Mart Stam chairs, and the colors are real special.
03:06And the ceramics by Wouter Dam.
03:17Lily van der Stokker, she's doing very well, she now has a big mural at the High Line in
03:29New York, and we are happy to have a small drawing called Artwork, and that's her image
03:39of how an artwork can do in a house.
03:47And what we here have is a South Korean artist who lives in Holland, and he made a skirt
03:59up girl, and it's all about the culture from South Korea.
04:07And this is quite special, you have from your childhood those cards where you see an eye
04:14if you move, and if you move now, you see the light change, the colors change.
07:14Security Advice, dear visitors, please be careful with your valuables, thank you.
