News Art Resource GalleristNY compare attendance figures of two prestigious shows of contemporary art exhibition "Document", held every five years in the German city of Kassel and the Venice Biennale - and the result was somewhat unexpected. According to official figures released by the organizers, the latest exhibition "Paper-12" held in 2007, attended by about 750,000 people, while the last Venice Biennale, held in the past year - 375 000. Partly, perhaps you can explain this to the fact that "Document" is held only once every five years, so it seems, to prepare for it and plan visits to serious art lovers begin to advance. Other compelling reasons for this sharp difference in the number of visitors to the publication of two well-known exhibitions GalleristNY not find, and if Logically, this should be quite the opposite, because the Venice Biennale last about six months, while the exhibition in Kassel - a total of 100 days, then collect the a large number of visitors it must be difficult.
