Gottfried Eisenberger
"The Art Fair Guy"

Founder of The Art Fair Guy, Gottfried Eisenberger is an international curator, exhibition strategist, and art fair advisor with a passion for building platforms for emerging artists. He is the creator of View From Above, one of the most successful touring exhibitions in recent years, and the founder of Ready to Show Art, delivering turnkey exhibitions across Europe and the Middle East.

Gottfried curates World Art Dubai, advises the Florence Biennale and several other Art Fairs and Festivals, and has consulted for over 40 art fairs through his work with scan.art — a digital exhibition guide and inventory tool used by thousands of artists and galleries. With a background that spans curating, organizing, and growing commercial art fairs, he brings a unique perspective to the global art scene: artist-focused, data-driven, and growth-oriented.

Mission

I want to make the art market more transparent, accessible, and opportunity-driven — especially for emerging artists and independent voices.

With The Art Fair Guy, I provide curated insights into art fairs, festivals, and exhibitions worldwide. Through on-the-ground coverage, expert analysis, and hands-on consulting, my goal is to help artists, collectors, and organizers navigate the art world with clarity and confidence.

Experience in the Arts

Since founding scan.art in 2018, Gottfried has worked together with more than 5000 artists, 800 art galleries and 40 art fairs and festivals from around the world.
