RICHARD SERRA

With his provocative and innovative works, Richard Serra is one of the most outstanding sculptors of our time. His large-scale sculptures have revolutionized contemporary sculpture.

GERHARD RICHTER

On 9 February 2022 Gerhard Richter (*1932) celebrates his ninetieth birthday. Richter is one of today’s most influential artists.

JÖRN VANHÖFEN

People appear only sporadically in the quiet images of photographer Jörn Vanhöfen, at least at first glance - but his landscapes are places of human omnipresence in times of globalization.

CARSTEN HÖLLER

It is almost impossible to escape the works of German artist and biologist Carsten Höller - his art invites interaction and self-experimentation. The phenomenon of human sensory perception and the construction of one's own self makes up the special character of his works.

PETER BIALOBRZESKI

Peter Bialobrzeski explores predominantly urban spaces and structures, moving between two poles - between critical documentary and aesthetic beauty, between frightening growth and a glitter and glow.

JUST LOOMIS

Just Loomis began his career as an assistant to Helmut Newton. Successful as a fashion photographer in Milan and New York, Loomis' free works give an honest insight into everyday American life.

MARIKO MORI

The art world of Japanese multi-media artist Mariko Mori is a mix of art, technology, performance, music, architecture, nature and spirituality. Not infrequently, she herself is part of her artificial landscapes and sculptures, in which universal themes collide with cyber-pop.

KARIN KNEFFEL

The suggestive pull emanating from Karin Kneffel's hyper-realistic mode of representation is followed by an unmistakable call to distrust the character of the image. It is the extreme details, the meticulous attention to detail, that reveal Kneffel's conceptuality at second glance.

MICHAËL BORREMANS

Belgian Michaël Borremans is hailed as the new star of young figurative painting. Originally trained as a photographer and graphic designer, he has made an international name for himself with his somber drawings and enigmatic paintings.

NEDKO SOLAKOV

Nedko Solakov is the man of letters among artists. Born in Bulgaria in 1957, the artist plays virtuously with the possibilities of using language in art.

ANTON HENNING

Anton Henning moves away from common art trends and expectations. In his subversive march through art history, he repeatedly combines an abstract, ornamental formal language with figurative motifs, places avantgarde and design, trash and salon art in a dialectical relationship.

PHILIP TAAFFE

The New York-based painter Philip Taaffe makes use of various ethnic motifs. His postmodern access to already existing forms, however, is only the external approach to a decorative ornamentation. His works are a critical-reflexive examination of abstraction.

NOH SUNTAG

South Korean NOH Suntag's photographs maintain a careful balance between political statement and artistic aesthetic. NOH is interested in the ambivalences and fractures within and between the two Korean societies.

GORAN DJUROVIC

The mostly small-format paintings by Belgrade-born artist Goran Djurovic are often enigmatically ironically broken and whimsically pointed. With almost psychoanalytical persistence, they revolve around self-deception, social maladjustment, and character deformation.
