The idea behind “7 Artists—7 Rooms” can be described as a creative pause, catching one’s breath during the act of making.
Our previous exhibition by Walter Stöhrer was on view through end of March. The highly impetuous but at the same time shaped vitality of his paintings once again demonstrated their astonishing and mesmerizing power and relevance that has prevailed for decades.
For the upcoming Gallery Weekend at the end of April we will present our first solo exhibition of Claire de Santa Coloma, whose sculptures and works on paper strikingly unite models of classical modernism with a contemporary materiality and perspective.
Meanwhile, we are showing great works by seven gallery artists—for a period of fourteen days through April 17, 2021.

Despite the diversity of the artistic positions, they share an acute sense of quality and artistic precision. The stories told—by a polar bear skin rug, flower petals falling within the color space of the painting, constructivist collages, and by the German word Fett [fat, grease] almost glaring at us—capture and inspire us in the best possible way.
Should it not be possible for you to visit, there are other ways of accessing the show: in conversation with us, via portfolios, through installation views, or the video tour that will be online from April 9, 2021.
