Galerie m Bochum, Contemporary art gallery in Bochum, Germany
Galerie m Bochum is an art gallery that displays paintings, sculptures, photographs, and installations from both regional and international artists. The space features rotating exhibitions in a dedicated location near Schlosspark Weitmar.
This gallery was established in 1969 and has shaped Bochum's art scene for over 50 years. After decades at its Schlosspark Weitmar location starting in 1974, it has begun transitioning to a new home.
The gallery's name comes from its 1971 catalogue "Neue Konkrete Kunst", which helped establish the term for this European post-war movement. Since 1976 Alexander von Berswordt-Wallrabe has represented Richard Serra in Europe through m Bochum Kunstvermittlung. Exhibition series such as Dirk Reinartz's "totenstill" and Arnulf Rainer's "Hiroshima" began here before touring to museums.
Visits are typically by appointment, especially during the ongoing transition to new premises. It is best to contact ahead to confirm current exhibition availability and visiting arrangements.
The gallery has been directed by Susanne Breidenbach since 2003, overseeing the selection and presentation of exhibited works. This long-standing continuity in artistic direction has shaped the character and reputation of the space over time.
