Galerie Herold, Hamburg

Galerie Herold, a prominent art gallery in Hamburg, has been a significant fixture in the North German art scene for over four decades. Specializing in Impressionism, Expressionism, and Contemporary Art, the gallery has established itself as a key player in promoting local art movements. It showcases a range of works from the Hamburg Artists' Club, the Hamburg Secession, and the Brücke painters, as well as pieces by well-known contemporary artists.

Founded in 1978 by Rainer Herold, the gallery started as a venture driven by Herold's passion for art, following a career in advertising. He devoted the gallery to promoting Hamburg artists active from 1870 to 1950, contributing significantly to their recognition through publications and exhibitions. His efforts helped many forgotten artists regain prominence. The main gallery is located on the Colonnade, close to the Binnenalster in Hamburg. This strategic location and its national fame are supported by its branch on Sylt, adding to its appeal and accessibility.

Rainer Herold's children, Patrick and Katharina, now aid in running the family business, continuing the legacy of dedication to art. In a new venture, Katharina Herold has expanded the family's artistic influence by opening Heroldian Art Concepts in Mallorca in 2021, where she has resided since that year.

Galerie Herold's long-standing focus and sustained family involvement make it a crucial cultural institution in Hamburg and beyond, promoting a deeper appreciation and understanding of North German art.
