Contemporary Fine Arts

The gallery was founded in 1992 in Berlin, where it now resides in a 19th-century apartment house on two floors—a white cube style store front window on the ground floor and a salon-like space on the first floor. In 2023 Contemporary Fine Arts expanded to Switzerland and opened up their first dependance in Basel's Totengässlein. The gallery launched and co-launched the careers of artists like Cecily Brown, Sarah Lucas, Raymond Pettibon, Dana Schutz and Dash Snow. While a couple of younger artists like Maja Ruznic, Emily Mae Smith, Tobias Spichtig, Travis MacDonald and Márcia Falcão joined the roster recently, the gallery is also known for exhibiting established artists like Georg Baselitz and Leiko Ikemura. CFA represents the estates of Christa Dichgans and Norbert Schwontkowski. The gallery has organised museum-quality exhibitions like ›Max Beckmann in dialogue with Cecily Brown, Ella Kruglyanskaya and Dana Schutz‹, ›Kids‹, ›Café Pittoresque‹ and ›Hommage á Georg Baselitz‹ on the occasion of the artist's 80th birthday. Contemporary Fine Arts publishes exhibition catalogues on a regular basis.
