Galerie Chobot, Vienna

Galerie Chobot, located in Vienna, has a rich history dating back to its establishment in 1971. Its beginnings were strongly influenced by a deep passion for art collection, which laid a solid foundation for the gallery's future endeavors. In 1983, the gallery underwent a significant move to its current location, firmly establishing itself in the Austrian art scene.

Between 1985 and 1990, Dagmar Chobot, the gallery's founder, honed her expertise during an apprenticeship at the Rudolf Springer Gallery in Berlin. This led to valuable connections with renowned artists like Georg Baselitz, A.R. Penck, Markus Lüpertz, Wolf Vostell, and Dieter Appelt, influencing upcoming exhibitions.

Over the years, Galerie Chobot has maintained a close collaboration with Austrian artists, fostering strong bonds with the local creative community. The gallery's roster of Austrian artists who have exhibited is impressive, including Arnulf Rainer, Alfred Hrdlicka, Hans Staudacher, Andreas Judgment, Bruno Gironcoli, Josef Pillhofer, Karl Anton Fleck, Gunter Damisch, Erwin Wurm, Felix Waske, Herbert Brandl, and many other talented individuals.

The gallery's primary focus lies in works on paper and sculptures. Works on paper encompass a wide range of artistic styles and techniques, offering visitors a diverse artistic experience. In contrast, the world of sculpture is somewhat underrepresented in the art gallery landscape, making Galerie Chobot proud to champion three-dimensional art and emphasize its dedication to providing visitors with a well-rounded and eclectic artistic experience.
