Art in business: Galleries in the field of tension between art mediation and retail

The first round of talks "Talks of Galleries" took place on Friday as part of the 7th Hessian Creative Industries Day. Under the title "Art in business: Galleries in the field of tension between art mediation and retail", Anita Beckers, gallery owner of Galerie Anita Beckers, and Birgit Maria Sturm, Managing Director of the Federal Association of German Galleries and Art Dealers (BDVG), discussed the challenges and opportunities in the art market.

The two experts highlighted the role and importance of galleries as public spaces that survived as retail businesses during the pandemic. They also emphasized the need for recognition and better networking with institutions and cities. The discussion was moderated by art historian and consultant Dr. Britta von Campenhausen.

The "Talk of Galleries" format will continue on July 4 at Galerie Kai Middendorff with exciting questions on the topic of "Art Market and Content". We look forward to seeing you there!
