Contemporary Europe

Just published: the comprehensive guide to contemporary art in Europe

You can name all or most of the important museums in Paris, but what about Tallinn?
As a European or a traveller through the continent with an interest in contemporary art, one needs to know: Which institutions are on the cutting edge? Which gallery scene is the most lively? Which site-specific works of art should not be missed? Which biennials are scheduled for the coming years? Which art fairs offer the most contemporary works? Which private collections are at the forefront of the art scene? Which curators are presenting the most engaging exhibits?

Contemporary Europe Art Guide gives answers to these questions and offers the reader a concise, up-to-date- and insightful presentation of European museums, art institutions, galleries, art fairs, biennials, and works of art in public space. It focuses on giving both the knowledgeable insider and the casual novice a brief and easy-to-use synopsis of European art highlights that are musts on the itinerary of anyone interested in contemporary art.
The Guide was written by Mark Gordon, an art professional living in Berlin and Amsterdam where he manages art projects and writes about contemporary art and architecture.

Contemporary Europe Art Guide has just been published by Hatje Cantz and can be purchased via your local bookstore or our website www.hatjecantz.com at the retail price of ? 29,80.
P.S: in case you wondered: in Tallinn you can visit Tallinn Art Hall and the new KUMU Art Museum which opened in 2006.
