The Hans Mayer Gallery was established in 1965 in Esslingen. Because of exhibitions on Op Art, Contemporary Constructivism, and Kinetic Art, the gallery became very well known in the 1960s. Since 1971 Hans Mayer is based in Düsseldorf. In the 1970s, 80s, and 90s the gallery programme expanded continuously. In 1969 Hans Mayer was the first to show Andy Warhol in Düsseldorf. In 1989 Nam June Paik joined the gallery. The gallery then added American artists such as Frank Stella, Ellsworth Kelly, Sol LeWitt, Robert Rauschenberg, Roy Lichtenstein, and Tom Wesselmann and representatives of a younger generation, including Keith Haring, Michael Basquiat, Kenny Scharf, Robert Longo, Bill Beckley and Tony Oursler to its programme. European painting is represented by C.O. Paeffgen, Gia Edzgveradze, and Markus Oehlen. Apart from gallery exhibitions, Hans Mayer deals in European and American art after 1945. The gallery is also specialized in large outdoor sculptures. |
