Located in Berlin, Karlsruhe, Basel and Seoul, Meyer Riegger maintains a curatorially driven programme that includes solo exhibitions of gallery artists, group shows and special projects.

Established in Karlsruhe in 1997, the gallery’s early programme was distinguished by a strong emphasis on artists whose work is characterised by predominantly conceptual or abstract concerns, hosting solo shows by the likes of Meuser, John Miller, Jonathan Monk and Helen Hendl Mirra.

During the 2000s, looking to integrate artists into the gallery’s programme for whom existential questions around life and death, performance and the human body play an important role, Meyer Riegger forged relationships with artists such as Katinka Bock, Miriam Cahn, Eva Koťátková and Ján Mančuška, the latter of whose estate is represented by the gallery. It was also during this period, in 2008, that the gallery expanded to open a second space in Berlin, in order to firmly place itself at the heart of discussions in contemporary art, both in Germany and internationally.

The past decade has seen the gallery grow further and its programme has continued to broaden and diversify. Artists including Alexandra Bachzetsis, Caroline Bachmann, Paulo Nazareth and Ulla von Brandenburg, have joined Meyer Riegger.

More recently, Meyer Riegger has also begun to curate exhibitions of work by historically significant artists, namely Meret Oppenheim, Horst Antes, Jacqueline de Jong and Jimmy DeSana, while bringing further early-career artists into the roster, for example, Tamina Amadyar and Alma Feldhandler. The opening of a third location in Basel in 2020 is testament to the gallery’s intention to operate within both local and global contexts.

With the goal of creating new relationships and audiences for the gallery’s artists, Meyer Riegger has also recently opened a new branch in Seoul, South Korea with a solo exhibition by Horst Antes.
