This year, ST.ART Strasbourg art fair is celebrating its 18th anniversary.

About nineteen galleries from Europe and Asia will be presented from 22 to 25 November at France’s second oldest fair for contemporary art.

The framework programme this year is unusual. In a special exhibition, ST.ART pays homage to the French painter Olivier Debré (1920-1999), who worked in the lyrical abstraction style. About 40 paperworks will be shown in black and white, ink drawings and gouaches from the years 1945-1947. Debré, whose family originated from Alsace, limited himself, in the time after the liberation of France from theNazi regime, to the colours black, white and grey, in order to convey his sorrow about the horror of occupation and the concentration camps.

Moreover, the art collector Jürgen A. Messmer will show pieces from the Kaiserstuhl Works by the Swiss painter André Evard in the kinetic art style.

For the 50th anniversary of the twinning of the two cities Strasbourg and Boston, ST.ART will present “The Par Avion Project”, a joint project with 50 artists from both cities.

A whole range of art from the 20th and 21st centuries can be seen, from paintings, to plastic and graphic art, to photo and video and to glass art.
