Galerie Henze & Ketterer

In the third generation and since 1946, Galerie Henze & Ketterer as a family business is specialised in Modern and Contemporary Art with a focus on German Expressionism. Since the mid-1950ies, the gallery is the administrator of the Ernst Ludwig Kirchner Estate, one of the most important artists of this movement and initiator of the artist association “Brücke”. Thus, Galerie Henze & Ketterer is proud to contribute to international museums showing works by “Brücke”, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Expressionism in one way or the other.

Modern Art, Informal Art (L’Art Informel) and Abstraction after 1945, New Figuration and Contemporary Art with painters and sculptors from Italy, Spain and Germany are the other main focuses of the gallery. We present artists, among others, like Lyonel Feininger, Erich Heckel, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Otto Mueller, Edvard Munch, Emil Nolde, Hermann Max Pechstein, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, Christian Rohlfs, Georg Tappert, as well as abstract artists such as Francis Bott, Günther Gumpert, Bernard Schultze, Fred Thieler, Ursula, Fritz Winter and living artists like Georg Baselitz, Pizzi Cannella, Markus Lüpertz, Daniel Spoerri, Giovanni Manfredini, Nunzio and Paolo Serra.

Galerie Henze & Ketterer shows up various permanent and temporary exhibitions every year. In the spacious "KUNST-DEPOT", which was designed by the architects Gigon/Guyer, who also designed the Ernst Ludwig Kirchner Museum in Davos, younger artists are shown.

Besides Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, the gallery also manages the archive and estates of Berthold Müller-Oerlinghausen, Theo Eble and Fritz Winter. With the information from the "Archiv Stuttgarter Kunstkabinett Roman Norbert Ketterer", Galerie Henze & Ketterer is making a significant contribution to international provenance research into Modern Art. Other activities of the gallery include art dealing, commissions, art books, publishing and consulting activities concerning documentation, authenticity, conservation, insurance, transport. The gallery has long been committed to working with and advising artists, collectors, colleagues and curators.

Since the early 1970s, the gallery participates in international art fairs, including Art Basel, FIAC Paris, Masterpiece London, and to date TEFAF Maastricht, Art Cologne and Art Karlsruhe.

The gallery is present online through various Online Viewing Rooms (OVR), as well as with profiles at artsy.net, artnet.com, ifpda.org, printed-editions.com, Instagram, Youtube and Linked/In.
