Located in the center of Bielefeld, directly opposite the town hall and the municipal theater, the gallery today has a generous exhibition space of over 1,000 square meters.
Over 500 solo and themed exhibitions with accompanying publications have been presented at the gallery in Bielefeld, Germany and at important art fairs such as ART COLOGNE, art forum berlin, Arte Fiera Bologna or FIAC in Paris. The gallery specialises on both established and new positions of 20th and 21st century art, while focussing on intermedia tendencies.
Samuelis Baumgarte Galerie’s activities emphasise on the presentation of significant international artistic expression by incorporating various styles of artistic masters as a mirror of our time. Major exhibitions showcased amongst others Karel Appel, Fernando Botero, Max Ernst, Lucio Fontana, Sam Francis, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Marie-Jo Lafontaine, Heinz Mack, Emil Nolde, Niki de St. Phalle, Otto Piene, Serge Poliakoff and Frank Stella.
