This year, NADA will again partner with online exhibition destination and marketplace Paddle8, which will exclusively handle online sales for the NADA Cologne fair in April. Each NADA gallery will be provided with the opportunity to host a virtual storefront at www.Paddle8.com through which they may accept offers and process transactions on works using Paddle8’s proprietary online platform, which leverages technology to facilitate the viewing, curating and acquisition of art. NADA Cologne will be active on Paddle8 from April 11 through April 24, including the week before the fair, when Paddle8 members may preview and begin to acquire works from NADAʼs exhibitors.
