The generation before us more or less fought against each other, but our generation is working together. We’re stronger together.

About Sperling

Sperling is a gallery for contemporary art founded in 2014 by Johannes Sperling. Originally conceived as a project space, the gallery has been representing artists since 2016 and has since gained a reputation as one of the central venues for young contemporary art in Munich.

The gallery program deals with new developments in contemporary art and shows solo exhibitions of the represented artists, but also curated group exhibitions and projects. In doing so, the gallery does not move within thematic boundaries, but offers the artists and curators a professional experimental space for their ideas. This results in both a varied program and the gallery's independent profile.

Currently, Sperling represents eight international artists who share an interest in interdisciplinary, conceptual, and expansive approaches, and who are also concerned with political, social, and cultural realities: Thomas Geiger, Andrew Gilbert, Veronika Hilger, Anna McCarthy, Ana Navas, Anousha Payne, Anna Vogel, and Malte Zenses.

In close collaboration with these artists, the gallery develops projects, publications, and exhibitions, not only within the immediate framework of the gallery, but also in cooperation with institutions, publishers, curators, or authors.

In the last couple of years, the gallery has participated in international Art Fairs to promote their represented artists, e.g. Art Cologne, Paris Internationale, ARCOmadrid, miart Milano, Material Art Fair Mexico City, and Liste Art Fair Basel.
