ROTTERDAM
.-Art Rotterdam, the first international event that dared to open its doors once more, was a resounding success. With a surprisingly large number of enthusiastic and keen visitors, 16 outdoor artworks, 74 artists in Prospects and more than 100 participating galleries, this annual art event once again - for the twenty-second time - proved its unstoppable vitality. The unique, once-off summer edition offered art enthusiasts from the Netherlands and abroad a welcome opportunity to once again experience the latest developments in the visual arts live and up close. Erik Mattijssen, who is represented by the Rotterdam-based gallery Cokkie Snoei, won both the NN Art Award and the Public Award. Fons Hof comments, "The unique summer edition of Art Rotterdam exceeded our expectations. Although there were still a number of Covid-19 restrictions in place, the enthusiasm and motivation of visitors and participants alike made it all the more worthwhile. Fantastic sales results underscore this. We are already looking forward to the next edition: Thursday 10 February to Sunday 13 February 2022!"
