Dittrich & Schlechtriem

Dittrich & Schlechtriem was founded in 2011 by Lars Dittrich and André Schlechtriem in a gallery space on Tucholskystraße in Berlin-Mitte. The program launched with a first solo exhibition by Julian Charrière. From the very beginning, the gallery has specialized in conceptual contemporary art across a wide range of media, concentrating on the representation of young artists and providing them with a platform for ambitious projects.

In January 2017, the gallery expanded its program and relocated within the neighborhood to a larger space at Linienstraße 23. Over the following eight years, Dittrich & Schlechtriem presented more than 70 exhibitions by gallery and invited artists, alongside numerous events and public engagements.

In January 2026, Dittrich & Schlechtriem opens its new headquarters in Berlin-Mitte. Operating from Linienstraße 40, the gallery positions itself as a central hub for initiating and coordinating projects and large-scale exhibitions in site-specific locations across Berlin, as well as in Cologne and internationally.

In addition to publishing artists’ monographs, exhibition catalogues, and commissioned essays, Dittrich & Schlechtriem regularly engages in institutional and curatorial projects, enhancing the profile of the artists and creating opportunities for artistic development. Internationally, the gallery has participated in major art fairs such as Art Basel, the New York Armory Show, Artissima, Art Cologne, Art Berlin, Art Brussels, Art Düsseldorf, Art Genève, Paris Photo, ZonaMaco, and ExpoChicago.

The artists represented by the gallery have been invited to take part in international biennials such as the Biennale di Venezia and the Toronto Biennial. They have also been included in institutional collections as well as significant exhibitions at museums such as the Centre Pompidou (Paris), Museum Tinguely (Basel),Pinakothek der Moderne (Munich), the Whitney Museum of American Art (New York), the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Martin-Gropius-Bau (Berlin), the Palais de Tokyo (Paris), the Museo d’Arte Moderna di Bologna, the Museo d’arte della Svizzera italiana (Lugano), and the Neue Nationalgalerie (Berlin).

The gallery currently represents Soufiane Ababri, Keith Boadwee, Asger Carlsen, Julian Charrière, Zuzanna Czebatul, Andrej Dúbravský, Marta Dyachenko, Andreas Greiner, Daniel Hölzl, Bernhard Martin, Nicola Martini, Haley Mellin, Navot Miller, Harry Nuriev, Monty Richthofen, and Lukas Städler.
