Meyer Riegger

Located in Berlin, Karlsruhe, Basel and Seoul, Meyer Riegger maintains a curatorially driven programme that includes solo exhibitions of gallery artists, group shows and special projects.

Established in Karlsruhe in 1997, the gallery’s early programme was distinguished by a strong emphasis on artists whose work is characterised by predominantly conceptual or abstract concerns, hosting solo exhibitions by the likes of Meuser, John Miller, Jonathan Monk and Helen Hendl Mirra.

In the 2000s, seeking to integrate artists into the programme whose work explores existential questions around life and death, performance and the human body, Meyer Riegger forged relationships with artists such as Katinka Bock, Miriam Cahn, Eva Koťátková and Ján Mančuška—whose estate is now represented by the gallery. It was also during this period, in 2008, that the gallery expanded by opening a second space in Berlin, positioning itself at the heart of contemporary art discourse both in Germany and internationally.

Over the past decade, the gallery has continued to grow, with a programme that has broadened and diversified. Artists including Alexandra Bachzetsis, Caroline Bachmann, Paulo Nazareth and Ulla von Brandenburg have joined Meyer Riegger’s roster.

More recently, Meyer Riegger has begun curating exhibitions of work by historically significant artists such as Meret Oppenheim, Horst Antes, Jacqueline de Jong and Jimmy DeSana, while also welcoming early-career artists like Tamina Amadyar and Alma Feldhandler. The opening of a third location in Basel in 2020 reflects the gallery’s intention to operate within both local and global contexts.

As of September 2025, Meyer Riegger and Galerie Jocelyn Wollf will join forces to create Meyer Riegger Wolff, a new gallery based in Seoul, South Korea, to continue exploring the region. This new space, marks a natural extension of the galleries’ growing presence in Asia, driven by a shared long-term vision for the Korean market. It aims to develop artists' careers in Korea while fostering a dialogue between global and local art practices through experimental exhibitions that blend both galleries’ programmes.
