Approximately 180 artists, selected by a rotating jury of experts, participate in the exhibition. To this day, DIE GROSSE remains a reliable reflection of developments in art and is considered a meeting place for professionals in the industry. Once again this year, the Artists’ Art Prize is being awarded, this time to Bart Koning, a resident of Krefeld. The prize for works by artists aged 35 and under goes to Max van Dorsten, a resident of Cologne.

It is an important platform for promoting and selling contemporary art in the region. Every summer, works of art from all disciplines are presented in four halls and in the outdoor area.

Organisation: Verein zur Veranstaltung von Kunstausstellungen e.V.
