Galerie Werner Klein

The Galerie Werner Klein in Cologne is a significant venue for contemporary art, particularly specializing in works on paper. The gallery regularly showcases pieces by both established and emerging artists who pursue innovative approaches within their respective disciplines. A highlight for the gallery is its upcoming participation in the fair "paper positions. berlin," taking place from April 30 to May 3, 2026. There, the works of Bettina Blohm, Katharina Hinsberg, and Danica Phelps will be presented, all known for their unique techniques and concepts.

Bettina Blohm, born in 1961, has been splitting her time between New York and Berlin for nearly two decades, creating both large-scale paintings and works on paper. Her current exhibition "Jenaer Fuge" at the gallery illustrates how she addresses themes such as stability, movement, and rhythm in her works. In terms of color, she emphasizes the importance of light, despite the predominant use of black in her gouaches.

Katharina Hinsberg, born in 1967, focuses intensely on cutting and line in her works. Her latest series "Säumnisse" explores the significance of the edges of the paper, which she highlights with red ink or watercolor. Through precise cutting and rearranging of the papers, she creates new formats that encourage viewers to reflect on the materiality and boundaries of paper.

Galerie Werner Klein has established itself as a platform for diverse artistic expressions, providing a space for dialogue and reflection on contemporary art. Visitors are invited to experience the gallery's works and engage with the concepts of the presented artists. To ensure personalized attention, it is recommended to schedule visits in advance.
