Held annually in the autumn with a run-time of ten days, it is a fair for the general public, attended by leading national and international exhibitors.
The fair is organised by Expo Management Kiel, its conceptual sponsor is, in continuation of the Deutscher Kunsthandelsverband, the newly founded Kunsthändlerverband Deutschland (a registered association).
[1] The Kunstmesse München set out in 1956 as Deutsche Kunst und Antiquitätenmesse under the conceptual sponsorship of the Deutscher Kunsthandelsverband.
Thereafter it was, for reasons of space, relocated to the Messe München (Munich Trade Fair), finally in the fairground at Riem.
[2] After a re-organization (and a transitory name change to Fine Art & Antiques for legal reasons), the historic Postpalast in Munich was determined as the venue.
