Schuebbe Projects Gallery, Dusseldorf

The Schuebbe Projects Gallery in Dusseldorf is a distinguished modern art space that champions both German and international contemporary art. Founded by Christa Schuebbe in 1975 in Mettmann, the gallery originally aimed to showcase international contemporary works and played a key role in revitalizing interest in post-war art groups like Munich’s SPUR. This German collective, known for its anti-capitalist stance, has been a longstanding fixture in Schuebbe Projects' repertoire, with their paintings, drawings, and sculptures frequently exhibited or loaned to prominent institutions globally.

Over the decades, Schuebbe Projects expanded to represent a wide array of artists and media, reflecting the dynamic art scene in Dusseldorf, especially since the opening of a dedicated exhibition space in the city in 1989. Today, the gallery represents fifteen European and Asian artists, with monthly exhibitions rotating through works by emerging and established talents like Bruno Hoffman, Maximilian Brockstedt, and Monika Stalder. This vibrant calendar includes abstract paintings, international photography exhibits, and drawings from foreign artists, each adding fresh perspectives and creative dialogue.

The gallery’s international reach grew through its regular participation in art fairs, creating a bridge between German and Chinese contemporary art. Notably, Schuebbe Projects has showcased Chinese artists such as Zeng Fanzhi and Feng Zhengjie, broadening the cultural exchange by promoting German contemporary art in China. Renamed Schuebbe Inc. in 2014 for its 40th anniversary, the gallery remains a central figure in Dusseldorf’s art scene, blending heritage with innovative exhibitions and fostering an ongoing, global artistic dialogue.
