Galerie Gisela Capitain
Galerie Gisela Capitain was founded in 1986 and is focused on Contemporary Art from the 1980s to the present. Over the course of 34 years, the gallery developed an ongoing vibrant program with international artists from various disciplines. Günther Förg, Charline von Heyl, Zoe Leonard, Albert Oehlen, Stephen Prina, Christopher Wool and Martin Kippenberger belong to the first generation of artists who have shaped the gallery’s program since its founding. In the 2000s Wade Guyton and Seth Price, emerging artists at the time, joined the program, among others. Adding emerging as well as established artists, including Barbara Bloom, Richard Smith or Monika Sosnowska, the gallery continually evolved its program.
In recent years, Galerie Gisela Capitain has started to work with Japanese artist Hiroki Tsukuda and Hong Kong based multimedia and sound artist Samson Young, followed by Peruvian artist Ximena Garrido-Lecca, Italian artist Isabella Ducrot and British painter Jadé Fadojutimi. Only this year the gallery started to represent American sculptor Ragen Moss and Mexico-City based artist Yann Gerstberger.
Galerie Gisela Capitain is the representative of the Estate of Martin Kippenberger since 1997.
