Liebe Freunde der Galerie Hans Mayer!

Vielleicht haben Sie schon aus der Presse entnommen, dass wir Mitte des Jahres unsere letzte Ausstellung im Schmela Haus zeigen werden.
Nach genau 60 Jahren – 1965 bis 2025 – intensivster Galeriearbeit schließt sich also für uns nunmehr der Kreis.
Alle anderen Aufgaben einer Galerie vom historischen Aufarbeiten, Dokumentation der verschiedenen Bereiche bis zur Vermittlung von Werken aus unserem Bestand führen wir in unserem Büro in Düsseldorf weiter fort.

Voller Dankbarkeit für die vergangenen 6 Jahrzehnte grüßen wir Sie/Euch herzlich!

Stephanie Mayer, Marie Mayer und das ganze Team der Galerie

Dear friends of Galerie Hans Mayer!

You may have already read in the press that we will be showing our last exhibition at Schmela Haus in the middle of the year.
After exactly 60 years - 1965 to 2025 - of intensive gallery work, we have now come full circle.
From our Düsseldorf office we will continue to carry out all the other tasks of a gallery, from historical reappraisal and documentation of various areas to the placement of works from our collection.

Full of gratitude for the past six decades and looking forward to many reunions on the art planet: in whatever form!

With very friendly regards!

Stephanie and Marie Mayer and the whole team at Galerie Hans Mayer

The Hans Mayer Gallery started with a Josef Albers show in 1965 and concentrated on constructivist art in the following years. Since 1971 Hans Mayer is based in Düsseldorf. In the 1970s, 80s and 90s the gallery program expanded continuously. In 1969 Hans Mayer was the first to show Andy Warhol in Düsseldorf. The gallery added American artists such as Frank Stella, Ellsworth Kelly, Bill Beckley, Robert Rauschenberg, Roy Lichtenstein and Tom Wesselmann. In 1990 Nam June Paik joined the gallery. Representatives of a younger generation, including Keith Haring, Jean Michel Basquiat, Kenny Scharf, Robert Longo and Tony Oursler followed. European art is represented by C.O. Paeffgen, Ben Willikens, Markus Oehlen and Jürgen Klauke. Apart from gallery exhibitions, Hans Mayer deals in European and American art after 1945. The gallery is also specialized in large outdoor sculptures and since its beginning famous for it’s crossover creative activities such as concerts, theatre, fashion shows and dance.
