Samuelis Baumgarte Galerie
As an advisor of questions concerning contemporary art the Samuelis Baumgarte Galerie looks back on a thirty-five year-old tradition. Founded by Ruth Baumgarte in 1975, the business was reorganized in 1986 in second generation by Alexander Baumgarte and Dr. Nathan Samuelis in todays Samuelis Baumgarte Galerie. Since 1988, Alexander Baumgarte has been the exclusive President. The gallery is located in the heart of the Bielefelder city centre, opposite the city hall and the municipal theatre and offers more than 1000 square exhibition space.
The architecture of the building allows almost every kind of exhibition concept including painting, photography, installation and sculpture. A member of the "Bundesverband Deutscher Galerien e.V.", the gallery constantly exhibits artists of international contemporary art, Modernism and young experimental tendencies. Over 300 single and thematic exhibitions have been presented at the gallery in Bielefeld and at important art fairs such as the Art Cologne, art forum berlin, Arte Fierra Bologna or the Fiac in Paris. While the communication of established and young positions of art in the 20th and 21st century is an important aspect, the program is strongly focused on cross-media tendencies. Active support of artists in large exhibitions and the procurement to museums and institutions of art is a primary focus; this results from the self-conception as precondition and commitment.
