DIE GROSSE is Germany's oldest and largest sales exhibition organised entirely by artists. Organised by the VzVvK e.V., it is traditionally held at the Kunstpalast and also at the NRW-Forum Düsseldorf.

It is an important platform for promoting and selling contemporary art in the region. Every summer, works of art from all disciplines are presented in four halls and in the outdoor area. Approximately 180 artists, selected by a rotating jury of experts, participate in the exhibition. To this day, DIE GROSSE remains a reliable reflection of developments in art and is considered a meeting place for professionals in the industry.

The participating artists are selected from numerous applications by a jury that changes annually. Works from the fields of painting, photography, graphic art, sculpture, installation and video are exhibited.
Once again this year, the Artists’ Art Prize is being awarded, this time to Bart Koning, a resident of Krefeld. The prize for artists aged 35 and under goes to Max van Dorsten, a resident of Cologne.
