Galerie Ernst Hilger

Profil

Ernst Hilger modern and hilger contemporary has been instrumental in the development of the European art market for almost 40 years. The gallery has contributed a great deal in creating foundations for other galleries and has acted as a role model in activities concerning the expansion towards new emerging markets and linking these with international companies such as Siemens and Unicredit Group.

In addition, the gallery is helping in the development of established art fairs as well as in the creation of new fairs by participating as a board and advisory board member. The gallery performs these tasks while maintaining active involvement in its core activity: working together with established artists, helping to establish young contemporaries and promoting their work through an international network of curators, collectors, and institutions. Artists involved with the gallery over the last eight years such as Miha Štrukelj, Anastasia Khoroshilova and Brian McKee , among many others, were accompanied to important biennials such as Venice and Moscow, thereby loyally advocating and supporting their work.

A new growing interest towards the Near and Far East has now brought co-operations with exciting emerging artists such as Sara Rahbar (Iran), as well as the establishment of a new venue, the BrotKunsthalle, in a former bread factory from the mid 19th century. Here, project-based, internationally curated exhibitions will be shown three times a year. It began in 2009 with the exhibition "The Promise of Loss. A Contemporary Index of Iran", curated by Shaheen Merali . Currently, the three Viennese showrooms - modern , contemporary, and BrotKunsthalle - are a testament to the gallery's constant need for involvement and the communication of art as well as to its commitment to being a dependable and professional partner for artists, collectors and curators alike.
