Since its founding in the year 2004 Galerie Bernd Kugler has been representing contemporary art by international artists. The first exhibitions of the gallery showed works by Per Kirkeby, Eugène Leroy (in collaboration with Michael Werner) and André Butzer. Solo presentations by Thilo Heinzmann, Andy Hope 1930 and Anna Kolodziejska followed. Ever since, a focus on young art particularly from contemporary Germany has shaped the gallery's profile. Next to giving exposure to graduates of the Academy of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe from very early onwards our gallery has presented selected postitions of the dynamic Berlin art scene to an Austrian audience. Curated themed exhibitions complete the gallery's program. Dedicated to various facets of the artistic process they also invite the dialogue with artists who are not part of the actual gallery programme: James Choice/2023, Die Schönheit von Combray/2022, Ross Bleckner - Erwin Gross/2020, Protrait/2019, Flowers/2018, Le monde pictorial: Eugène Leroy, Tobias Hantmann/2017, Animalism/2016, Still still life/2016, In Cooperation with./2015, Endoscopia Part 1,2/2014, Il faut être peintre.../2013. Galerie Bernd Kugler places strong emphasis on a close, long-term collaboration with its artists. Recurring solo presentations give insight into into the development of an artistic oeuvre. From our point of view and experience this is an important premise for a sustained positioning and referral to private and public collections. Accompanying publications are a matter of course to the gallery, as is the edition of artists' catalogues.
