Posted: Fri 27 Nov, 2020 1:52 pm
Its just been announced that Photokina is to close after 70 years
It was one of the best attended exhibitions for many years
Just looked up an article I wrote about the show only 6 years ago
There were 1074 exhibitots from51 countries.
It covered 250,000 square metres - the size of 40 football pitches!
One of the many halls had a section dedicated to framing.
ARQADIA, International Graphics, CRAFT, DANLIST, ]Gunnar & Wizard, were regular exhibitors
LION used to have a staff of 7 - it was that busy. In 2014 it was LIONs 15th time at this bi-annual event.
185,000 visitors came from 160 countries.
Its a shame that it cant continue in a smaller format, but the owners say demand for stands is down 50% on the last show.
It will certainly be missed, by all those who have been regular visitors
