Anniversaries under the sign of art
The photo artist Andrea Grützner creates images that at first glance appear to be collages or even models. However, they are in fact individual analogue photographs that create references to the geometric forms of color field painting (Rundgænger).
Galleries are places of the present - and at the same time archives of continuity. The fact that they open up spaces for artistic positions over years and decades is not a matter of course. The Saisonstart 2025 Saisonstart provides an opportunity to celebrate several anniversaries that highlight the staying power of gallery owners.
Galerie Rundgænger is celebrating its tenth anniversary with an exhibition that oscillates between photography and painting. With the works of photo artist Andrea Grützner and painters Theresa Möller and Anna Nero, the focus is on positions that interweave figuration and abstraction - a curatorial signature that also shapes the profile of the gallery itself.
The CHRISTEL WAGNER GALLERY is celebrating its twentieth anniversary. It opens the three-part series Accrochage en 3 Sectionsin which works of different genres appear side by side. The principle of the hanging emphasizes the dialogical and refers to the openness of the program that the gallery has been pursuing for two decades.
The history of Galerie AM PARK, which can look back on 25 years, goes back even further. Its anniversary exhibition features works by Diego Rivera, Salvador Dalí and Eduardo Chillida, among others - a program that focuses on the diversity of modern and contemporary art.
And finally, Galerie Barbara von Stechow looks back on 30 years of gallery work. The focus is on a solo exhibition by Heiner Meyer, whose figurative, Pop Art-influenced painting sets the tone: colorful, narrative, unmistakable.
The anniversary exhibitions at the Saisonstart not only tell of artistic works, but also of perseverance, passion and a Frankfurt gallery life that has asserted itself and developed over decades.
