House of Galleries 2026

Review

Response

  • Frankfurt is reopening its “House of Galleries.” The concept has proven successful: More than forty galleries are exhibiting works in vacant office spaces in the Trianon Tower—works that can rival the view of the skyline.

    ↗ Ursula Scheer, FAZ Art Market, January 23,2026

  • “Frankfurt is back on the art fair map.”

    Stefan Kobel, art journalist

  • The House of Galleries format appears to be a fitting response to the trade fair fatigue that has spread among many galleries.

    Monopol Magazine, January 21, 2025

  • Even in times of stagnation, there are rays of hope. Frankfurt’s galleries are aiming high and have organized a new exhibition format in the Trianon Tower in the heart of the city.

    Brigitte Maria Sturm, BDVG Chairwoman

  • This exhibition is already one of the absolute highlights of the Frankfurt art year, although January is not even over yet [...].

    Frankfurter Rundschau, January 25, 2025

  • There hasn't been an art fair in Frankfurt for 18 years. But on Friday evening, the "House of Galleries" will open for a weekend in the vacant executive offices of the Trianon high-rise. A bar and views of the skyline are intended to attract new visitors.
