About us
 

The gallery was founded in Mannheim in 2001 and has been based in Frankfurt since 2007. Currently, the gallery represents 20 artists from Germany and abroad, and realises five to six exhibitions each year. For many years, the gallery participated in major art fairs such as Arte Fiera Bologna, Kiaf Seoul, Art Chicago, ARCO Madrid, Drawing Now, Paris, as well as many others. Nowadays, Bernhard Knaus Fine Art regularly takes part in Art Düsseldorf, Art Cologne, and the Luxembourg Art Week.

Originally established with a marked focus on photography, the gallery has deliberately broadened its programme in recent years: painting and drawing—exploring the spectrum between abstraction and figuration—together with sculpture and installation, now form an essential part of the gallery's concept. Over the years, the programme has been enriched by artists such as Robert Zandvliet, Mark Francis, Myriam Holme, Albrecht Schnider, Stefan à Wengen, and Giacomo Santiago Rogado.

A particular priority for us is the sustainable support and long-term development of our artists. Through a range of events—spanning artist talks, guided tours, studio visits, and exhibition openings—we regularly offer insights into artistic processes and working methods.

Publications from our in-house press, as well as collaborations with external publishers, further enhance the visibility of our artists. Internationally, the gallery maintains close working relationships with museums and other art institutions, initiates exhibition projects, and regularly provides loans of artworks for exhibitions.

At the heart of our programme is an ongoing engagement with fundamental questions surrounding perception and experience in our time. With genuine curiosity, we accompany artistic positions that challenge and enrich the ways we see and experience the world.

The gallery does not accept unsolicited artist applications.
