Portikus, Contemporary art exhibition hall on Maininsel, Frankfurt, Germany.
The Portikus gallery occupies a dedicated building on a small island in the Main River, accessible through the Old Bridge of Frankfurt.
Founded in 1987 by Kasper König, the gallery derives its name from the surviving portico of Frankfurt's public library destroyed during World War II.
The exhibition hall maintains strong connections with Städelschule Art Academy, creating opportunities for students to interact with international artists during installations.
Located at Alte Brücke 2, the gallery welcomes visitors Tuesday through Friday from 12:00 to 19:00 and weekends from 11:00 to 19:00 with free admission.
Since 1992, filmmaker Helke Bayrle has documented every installation at Portikus, creating an extensive visual archive of contemporary art history.
