ProfileThe Inge Baecker Gallery was founded in Bochum in 1970.
The Gallery can look back on a total of 320 exhibitions, 22 of which were the first exhibition in Germany for an international artist. In 1970 the gallery owner set the tone of her first exhibition with the graphic works of Wolf Vostell . Ever since then, Vostell and his work have been a perennial in the Gallery's programme.
Late in 1982 the Gallery moved from the Ruhr Valley to Cologne and after 1984 was located at the address Zeughausstrasse 13, the house of the cathedral's builder next to the city's Roman Tower.
Works by Wolf Vostell are not just a regular part of the Gallery's exhibition programme, in 1992 the Gallery also organised a retrospective of his work in five museums in the Rhineland.
From the very beginning the Happenings and Fluxus Movement and neo-dadaism set the programme tone. For the American artists Allan Kaprow, Geoffrey Hendricks and Al Hansen their first ever one-man shows in Germany were set up in 1971 and 1972.
One of the Gallery's more significant projects was the "Seeing in Order to Hear" exhibition in 1975 in Kunsthalle in Düsseldorf with works by John Cage, Mauricio Kagel, Stephan von Huene, Nam June Paik , Charlotte Moorman and Chiari. In the mid 1980s the Gallery exhibited new art from Brazil and organised three museum exhibitions with this theme.
After moving to Cologne, the programme was expanded with conceptual realism with artists from Europe, America, Russia and Turkey. In 1997 "young Art from Istanbul" was shown in Zeughausstrasse 13.
Among the representatives of conceptual realism have been Howard Kanowitz, Larry Rivers, Stephen McKenna . The German-born artist Rainer Gross as well as Ugo Dossi are likewise among them as are Ivan Chuikov and Serhat Kiraz.
The Gallery's younger artists, like the older core, work in the tradition of conceptual realism, Fluxus and neo-dadaism: Wolfgang Niedecken, Laas Abendroth, Christoph Pöggeler, Conrad Wachter, the light object artists molitor & kuzmin IRWIN and Sakir Gökcebag.
In 2007 the Gallery moved to the castle of Bad Münstereifel in order to set new trends there with a theme programme. represented artists |
