Galerie Krinzinger
The Krinzinger Gallery was founded in 1971. The origin of the program is international performative and body related art. Today the gallery works with important national and international positions and promotes young artists. Since 2002, the gallery has been running its second location, a space for discourse and AIR – and theme exhibitions, with the Krinzinger projects.
SMOLKA CONTEMPORARY
The gallery Smolka Contemporary, founded in 2013, is located in the first district of Vienna in the immediate vicinity of the State Opera, the Albertina and the Dorotheum auction house – thus in the heart of the cultural life of the capital of Austria.
Smolka Contemporary sees itself as a gallery that wants to guarantee maximum national and international visibility through intensive collaboration with a limited number of artists – the privileged location in the 1st district of Vienna offers an excellent opportunity for this. By focusing on an aesthetics anchored in a specific art-historical epoch, the programme strives for coherence and, by working with young artists, at the same time wants to demonstrate how the urgencies of the 1980s continue to have an impact in a contemporary world that has been completely changed by media technology. You could also say: back to the future.
Dorotheergasse 12/1, 1010 Wien
Charim Galerie
Charim Galerie, founded in 1997, presents internationally active artists at two locations in Vienna. Accompanied by events and publications, the gallery also addresses a broader public in order to provide young, emerging artists in particular with publicity and market access. An essential part of our gallery work, in addition to participation in fairs and the placement of works in private and public collections, is networking through collaboration with curators and art institutions.
Galerie Ernst Hilger
Galerie Ernst Hilger at Dorotheergasse 5 (first floor) in Vienna’s 1st district represents the works of artists such as Erró and Mel Ramos, along with exponents of Austrian modernism from the 1960s onward and the main exponents of the most important international art movements of the 20th century – from Pablo Picasso and Jean Dubuffet to Pop Art artists like Andy Warhol and Keith Haring through to Narrative Figuration (Jacques Monory).
Ernst Hilger was the head of the FEAGA for several years and member of numerous art fair committees including Art Basel; he acted as the longest-serving president of the Austrian Gallery Association and was instrumental in establishing the present conception of the role of galleries as partners of museums, collectors and representatives of the state. The roster of represented artists reflects the long history of the gallery.
