Buchmann Galerie represents 21 contemporary artists.
Founded in Switzerland in 1975, the German iteration was established in 1995, and has been located in Berlin since 2005 with two exhibition spaces. It allows hosting two parallel shows or one comprehensive exhibition. The Swiss gallery is located in Lugano and in Agra/Lugano with two exhibitions spaces in each location.
The gallery has worked with many of its artists from an early point in their career: with Tony Cragg since 1983, Wolfgang Laib since 1987, Tatsuo Miyajima and Lawrence Carroll since 1994 and with Bettina Pousttchi since 2005. André Buchmann has been a board member of the Cragg Foundation since 2008.
New artists to the gallery are Jason Martin and Nigel Cooke.
Recent support has been given to the publication of some ten museum and gallery catalogues: on Lawrence Carroll, Nigel Cooke, Tony Cragg, Martin Disler, William Tucker, Fiona Rae, and Bettina Pousttchi, and the five-volume series of catalogues covering Tony Cragg’s oeuvre, including a comprehensive essay on the artist’s works on paper by André Buchmann.
The artists are included in institutional exhibitions all around the world and have been shown at major shows. They have received important prizes, including the Praemium Imperiale. It was awarded to 3 gallery artists: Daniel Buren, Tony Cragg and Wolfgang Laib.
The gallery has conveyed and supported recent exhibitions of its artists at Masi Lugano, Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Museum Berlinische Galerie, KINDL Center for Contemporary Art, Neues Museum Nürnberg, Museo Novecento, Florence, Uffizi Galleries, Florence, Sculpture Park Waldfrieden, Kunstmuseum, Chur and Kunstmuseum St.Gallen among others.
