About

Now in its third generation and a family business since 1946, Galerie Henze & Ketterer specializes in Modern art and contemporary art with a focus on German Expressionism. Since the mid-1950s, the gallery has managed the estate of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, one of the most important artists of this movement and co-founder of the artists' association "Brücke". In this way, Galerie Henze & Ketterer contributes to showing the works of "Brücke", Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Expressionism in one form or another in international museums. Classical 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 form the gallery's other focal points. In addition to Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, the gallery also manages the archives 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 makes an important contribution to international provenance research on the art of Modern art. ‍ Since the early 1970s, the gallery has participated in international art fairs, including Art Basel, FIAC Paris, Masterpiece London and, to this day, TEFAF Maastricht, Art Cologne and Art Karlsruhe. The gallery is represented online via various Online Viewing Rooms (OVR) as well as with profiles at artsy.net, artnet.com, ifpda.org, printed-editions.com, ocula.com, Instagram, Youtube and LinkedIn.

Emil Nolde: Etchings 1906-1922

Fantastic scenes, which, however, again and again remind of such from myth, fairy tale, Bible or history, but probably not clearly determinable, increase in these years in the work of Emil Nolde.

View

Erich Heckel and his Muses

From girlfriends, companions, dancers, actresses to casual acquaintances: In the graphic work of Erich Heckel, a woman is often at the centre. The female body inspired Heckel to create woodcuts, lithographs and etchings, in which he found inspiration for motif and style.

Kirchner and Baselitz. Remix: Repetition in the Woodcut

Using different artistic techniques and without hierarchical weighting, Baselitz and Kirchner utilised repetition as a method to create works with a high degree of independence and distinctiveness.
