Galerie Henze & Ketterer & Triebold, Basel

The Galerie Henze & Ketterer & Triebold, a branch of the renowned Henze & Ketterer gallery in Bern, stands as a beacon for Modern and contemporary art in Basel. The gallery showcases an impressive range of artworks, highlighting diverse trends and styles from German, Italian, and Spanish artists. Notable names such as Eduard Bargheer, Otto Mueller, and Emil Nolde have graced its exhibitions, reinforcing its prominence in the art world.

Since its inception in 1946 as a family-run business, Galerie Henze & Ketterer has specialized in German Expressionism, particularly managing the estate of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, a pivotal figure in the movement and co-founder of the "Brücke" artists' association. The gallery’s commitment to Expressionism extends to its participation in international museum exhibitions, offering the world continued access to this transformative artistic movement.

Beyond Expressionism, the gallery features works from classical Modern art, L'Art Informel, post-1945 abstraction, New Figuration, and contemporary art, focusing on Italian, Spanish, and German painters and sculptors. Its exhibitions span three floors and are complemented by the "KUNST-DEPOT," a modern space designed by architects Gigon/Guyer, who also crafted the Ernst Ludwig Kirchner Museum in Davos. This area is dedicated to large-scale works and contemporary installations.

In addition to its exhibitions, Galerie Henze & Ketterer is active in the art trade, commissions, publications, and advisory services, supporting artists, collectors, and curators. It also regularly participates in major international art fairs, including Art Basel, TEFAF Maastricht, and FIAC Paris.
