Galerie Nagel Draxler

Our gallery was founded in Cologne in 1990 and operates in Cologne and Berlin, representing artists such as Kader Attila, Andrea Fraser, Mark Dion, Martha Rosler, Thomas Kilpper, Stephan Dillemuth, Heimo Zobernig, Luke Willis Thompson, a.o.. We are proud to be a gallery that has a history, a present and a future. An emphasis lies on an established generation of artists that has mainly 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 and political discourses of our times. Finally, with a young generation, comprising artists that sometimes have their first gallery presentation with us, we meet the challenges of tomorrow. We see it as our great privilege to be able to give these younger artists a context rooted in recent art history. In the extensive field of contemporary art, we also dedicate ourselves to engaging with the coming generations. Since 2011 we have been exhibiting artists that struck our attention and who are at the very beginning of their careers in our Cologne project space REISEBÜROGALERIE (Travel Agency Gallery). With an exhibition of works by Günther Förg, Hans-Jörg Mayer, Martin Kippenberger and Heimo Zobernig in 2016, we opened Nagel Draxler Kabinett, our second space in Berlin. In April 2018 we opened a new gallery space in Cologne (Elisenstrasse 4-6) with an exhibition of new works by New York artist Egan Frantz, followed by Martha Rosler.
