CALM & COLLECTED 2025

We are kicking off the gallery's autumn programme with a special exhibition highlight, featuring three outstanding works of international contemporary art.
Adelheid Rumetshofer sees her painting as a dematerialisation and reduction of all formal means. Colour becomes the determining factor. Rumetshofer works in oil on canvas in translucent layers without any brushstrokes or colour strokes. The resulting blurring dissolves contours into subtle condensations and opens up a diffuse interplay of surface and space of the highest quality. Her paintings thus elude any conceptualisation of representationalism or abstraction. Without any graspable reality, the pure aesthetics of colour can be experienced as pictorial content.
Hans Schüle studied sculpture and painting in Munich and Berlin and is in demand internationally as a steel sculptor. His work includes series on different scales, including monumental works in public spaces (DE, IT, CAN, USA, Asia). His formal language takes up both biomorphic and geometric forms. Schüle develops complex, space-creating structures in which he explores artistic possibilities with the utmost precision.
Douglas Witmer is an internationally renowned artist in the field of geometric abstraction. Witmer's work bears witness to decades of exploring the materiality of the painted object. His works are shown internationally in exhibitions and have been documented in numerous publications. As an exclusive premiere, we are presenting the current series of 'Black and White Drawings' - small-format works in ink on laid paper that capture the landscape in an associative and spontaneous way.
