FREITOD

-please scroll down for English version -

An einem warmen Herbsttag im Jahr 2009 besuchen ein Künstler, ein Galerist und zwei Sammler zum ersten Mal die Räume in der Bülowstr. 90. Beeindruckt von der großzügigen Altbauetage und den Möglichkeiten gaben sich diese Vier ein völlig unerwartetes Versprechen – die KUNSTSAELE Berlin waren geboren. Die Ausstellung Freitod wird nun die über 10-jährige Ausstellungsgeschichte beenden.

September 10 - extended: October 31, 2020

On a warm autumn day in 2009, an artist, a gallery owner and two collectors visited the premises in Bülowstrasse 90 for the first time. Impressed by the spacious floor of the old building and the possibilities, these four made a completely unexpected promise – KUNSTSAELE Berlin was born. The exhibition Freitod will now mark the end of the more than 10-year history.
