Classic modernism and modern classics - Samuelis Baumgarte Gallery
The Samuelis Baumgarte Gallery has been exhibiting at ART COLOGNE for over 30 years. Important artists of classical modernism and modern classics are exhibited.
Gallery is an integral part of ART COLOGNE
For more than 30 years, the Samuelis Baumgarte Gallery from Bielefeld has been an integral part of ART COLOGNE in Cologne. Mr. Alexander Baumgarte, second generation since the founding of the gallery in 1965, names artists of classical modernism as the specialty of his 1000 square meter gallery. He distinguishes between classical modernism and modern classics, international postwar positions and new emerging positions.
Artist Amanda Chiarucci - Works in origami technique
Galerie Samuel Baumgarte has been representing the northern Italian artist Amanda Chiarucci exclusively for Germany for 3 years. Her works are created using the origami technique. The artist has several identities due to her origins. Her family has Italian, South American and Georgian roots. She incorporates this theme into her works, using old newspapers, books, telephone directories and texts from these countries and folding them into three-dimensional installations of various kinds using the origami technique.
Works by the distinguished Berlin painter Hans Jörg Mayer
An exhibition cabinet room in the gallery stand of Samuelis Baumgarte Galerie at ART COLOGNE, separated from the installations, shows 3 works in the central area. In the center is Hans Jörg Mayer, a prominent Berlin painter who is currently also exhibiting in New York. On the left side wall, the work of Astrid Lowack in dialog.
All the artists on show are strongly concerned with the theme of identity: identity to be found, changing identity, the emotions and associations that people experience in the course of a lifetime when they discover and possibly reject their true self. It is about joy, fear and horror on the one hand, but fundamentally about life, the abysses and the depths that one can learn to recognize.
