viennacontemporary and vc_on

viennacontemporary presents vc_on. We are thrilled to take our fair online to present art from Vienna, Central and Eastern Europe to everyone who cannot come to Vienna.

Our curators hand-picked online exclusive selections for vc_on’s viewing rooms and Z-Series.

We connect galleries with institutions, buyers and art aficionados from all over the world via viewing rooms and the digital expansion of viennacontemporary’s special sections, talks and events.

New perspectives with Z-Series

Balancing aesthetics and conceptual inventiveness, Z-Series is an
experimental platform with a special selection of accessible works by emerging names and yet-to-be-discovered young talents.

Our curator Francesca Gavin presents artworks that are engaging and current; art that provides an approachable gateway into an artist’s practice.
