The Juergen Kalthoff Gallery passionately champions today’s young artists of all kinds who are fresh and free. Located in Essen, European City of Culture 2010, the Gallery anticipated a boom in figurative painting in Germany. Artists represented by the Gallery are largely graduates of renowned universities and academies in Leipzig and Duesseldorf. They represent a generation that not only wishes to take an energetic stance, but which also seeks to draw to the centre of attention once more the painter as creator and communicator of worlds.
