Buying art doesn’t have to break the bank: One of the unique features of Affordable Art Fair is the wide range of prices, with all artworks priced between €100 and €10,000. We’ll be back this November for Affordable Art Fair Hamburg, where you’ll find 1,000s of artworks with a range of styles and genres to suit every taste, space and spend. And if you’re on the hunt for something under €500 or €1,000, we have pink stickers to help you spot those gems from afar.
To help you prepare for your visit, you can check out the wide range of local, national, and international galleries who will be joining us at this year. Among the highlights, our Fair Manager, Hannah Weber-Heidenfels, has selected 10 cutting-edge artworks to reflect every taste and budget.
This time we decided to highlight the artworks of 10 female artistic positions, as women are still underrepresented in the art world and we think that this disproportion should finally change!
Check them out below to be inspired!
Lil Blanc | Galeria Rodrigo Juarranz | 3.900€
Maria Espersen | Galerie von Wegen | 2.400€
Patty Caroll | BBA Gallery | 1.790€
Patty Carroll, the First Prize Winner of the BBA Photography Prize 2023, has been known for her use of highly intense, saturated colour photographs since the 1970s. By literally and physically camouflaging the figure in drapery or domestic objects, Patty Carroll creates a dark and humorous game of hide-and-seek between her viewers and the Anonymous Woman. The woman becomes a victim of her obsessions, activities, and circumstances as well as the invisible creator of such; at once satisfying and problematic, pathetic and humorous.
Hilde Trip | Schlieder Contemporary | 3.950€
In her diverse works, Hilde Trip fights against transience and preserves the fragile material at the peak of its bloom to create contemporary still lifes. She collects, dries, deconstructs, and reassembles individual elements into new geometric or organic forms. The viewer often needs several glances to identify the source material of her works. Upon closer inspection, one realizes that nature is often reduced to clear lines and forms. Hilde Trip emphasizes these, stacking thousands of maple propellers, seeds, ginkgo leaves, sections of peacock feathers, or grasses on top of each other, and rearranging nature using techniques she developed herself.
Layla Arthur | Gallery40NL | 800€
Kristine Mandsberg | Affenfaust Galerie | 600€
Anke Blaue | Pigment Gallery |
Anke Blaue’s work emerges from the material, it is the material that communicates to us what we are looking for, proposing a direct relationship, without obstacles, without even the slightest hint of her signature. She offers us a special journey on antique linen, in a series of pieces in different formats almost always tending towards a rectangular shape, often limited by linear intersections caused by the texture of the support or by the same chromatic gradations. A work of great technical delicacy, where the minimal expression of a single color and its light nuances, leads to the idea of abstraction as a universal expression of the whole, a pure revelation of art.
Maria Wallenstal-Schoenberg | Stern-Wywiol Galerie | 9.600€
Maria Wallenstål-Schoenberg’s paintings have a profoundly positive aura. They combine intuition and reason into a balanced overall picture of sensual color contrasts and carefully planned geometric forms. In keeping with the spirit of Concrete Art, the paintings are not essentially abstract, as they do not abstract anything figurative, but rather vividly (concretely): forms and color tones are in tension and communicate with each other. At first glance, weightless and serene, the artist’s paintings possess a poignant profundity that inevitably draws the viewer in.
Karen Clasen | artnow Gallery | 660€
Franziska Neubert | Galerie Brennwald | 780€
