About Nagel Draxler

Galerie Nagel Draxler (formerly Galerie Christian Nagel) was founded in Cologne in 1990 and operates in Cologne, Berlin, Munich and Meseberg. We are proud to be a gallery that has a history, a present and a future. An emphasis lies on an established artist generation, that has been showing with us since the beginning and whose work has been strongly influential for following generations. Our mid-career artists take part in defining the artistic discourses of our times. Finally, with a young generation, we meet the challenges of tomorrow. We see it as a privilege, to be able to give younger artists a context rooted in recent art history.
We opened in 1990 with Cosima von Bonin’s first solo show. In a strong orientation towards the new institutional critique we welcomed artists such as Michael Krebber, Andrea Fraser, Heimo Zobernig, Mark Dion, Renée Green, Kai Althoff, John Miller, Martha Rosler, and later Joëlle Tuerlinckx and Guillaume Bijl. Gang Zhao and Kader Attia are artists of bilateral heritage who reflect on postcolonialism from a transcultural perspective. More recently Sayre Gomez, Luke Willis Thompson and Christine Wang joined, as well as Zandile Tshabalala.
Martin Kippenberger is an artist who has accompanied Christian Nagel throughout his career. Christian Nagel organized his first Kippenberger exhibition in 1986 at the Villa Stuck in Munich. 
In 2016 we opened Nagel Draxler Kabinett, which is in 2022 and 2023 dedicated to artists working with blockchain technologies and NFTs such as Kenny Schachter, Kevin Abosch, Sarah Friend, Anna Ridler, and Rhea Myers. In 2019, Nagel Draxler Munich was added. In the summer of 2021, we organized the 1st Meseberg International in Brandenburg, where in the course of 2023 we will build a guest house with a sculpture garden.
