Galerie Zink
Overview
Since its beginnings in 1994, Galerie Zink‘s program has been focused on contemporary
international art. As a gallery, we see our role in supporting our artists in the development of their work and careers by placing their work in important institutional and private collections and presenting it in major international exhibitions.
A core value for the gallery is to have open and honest dialogs with our artists, collectors and institutions about artistic content and formal qualities. We work with a network of contemporary galleries internationally and believe in collaboration rather than competition.
After time spent in Munich, Berlin and New York, the gallery relocated to the countryside of Waldkirchen, Germany in 2017. This move allows for an expansion into a residency program for artists and guests, and a further focus on conceptually driven, substantial exhibitions. The gallery space, designed by Swiss architects Atelier Dimanche, opened on April 6, 2019.
The location away from major art hubs has fundamentally changed the way the gallery operates. The focus intensified towards providing closer support for artists, as well as maintaining networks, particularly with institutions, biennials, and esteemed patrons. In the meantime, the gallery’s team of 9 has regained a stronger international presence for their artists.
Over the past 3 years, the gallery facilitated numerous exhibitions and publications for our represented artists at notable institutions, such as IVAM, Valencia, Kunsthalle Wien, and Biennales in Venice and Busan. In Spring 2024, this includes important solo exhibitions for our artists at Städel Museum, Frankfurt, and Powerlong Museum, Shanghai. The gallery continues to place works by our artists in esteemed collections, most recently including Tate Modern, EVAM Museum, Centre Pompidou, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Museum of Concrete Art, MKI, as well as the Aukland Museum.
