| 12.5.06 - 15.7.06 PEJMAN – OPEN DOORS Two years ago, a young lady brought us two big books with hundreds of intriguing pictures and poems. They were dated from 1986 to 2000. The artist himself, Pejman, was born in 1982. The list of his exhibitions all over the world was impressive. A hype? An old friend told us: I‘ve never trusted prodigious children. Pejman lives in Nizza. We went there to see him and found an outstanding painter, deep and intense who knows what he is doing and why. Press, Biography |  | |

| 15.10.04 - 19.3.05 25 YEARS NOMADENSCHÄTZE 25 years –a mighty long time since we held our first exhibition NOMADENSCHÄTZE in the prestigious Palace Hotel in Gstaad. On show were a kirghiz yurt, Lakai embroideries, rugs, kilims, jewellery as well as ikatcoats, then not yet popular. Today, after many exhibitions and travels our love for great kilims is as strong as ever. |  | |

| 27.8.04 - 25.9.04 MAREMONTI How would it look if the gallery was filled with pictures artists have painted for an exhibition with a specific theme? Being curious, we asked artists we appreciate, if they felt like painting to MAREMONTI. The word MAREMONTI –seandmountains – does not really exist in italian, if not as the name of a pasta of scampi with mushrooms. An easy task at first sight, treacherously complex if you start to be creative. |  | |

| 18.5.04 - 17.7.04 CABO VERDE – TCHALÊ FIGUEIRA Paintings, LADISLAV DREZDOVICZ Photo Enchanted by the music of Cesaria Evora, we left for Cape Verde three years ago. A bad case of "sodade" lured us back there soon, and we stayed for one month. Most of the landscape is not green but looks like the back of the moon. The Capverdians reminded us of people of all continents at once, but their cuture is unique. We met the painter, poet and musician Tchalê Figueira in his atelier in Mindelo, and were impressed. The photographer Ladislav Drezdowicz, our common friend, is a magician with his Leica. He speaks the local creole language fluently. By showing Tchalês extraordinary paintings and Ladislavs striking photographies, we want to share our fascination by capverdian culture with you. Biography |  | |

| 1.4.04 - 30.4.04 SAM SHAW - UNVARNISHED Hollywood portraits from the 50s and 60s by Sam Shaw (1912-1999) The world famous photograph showing Marilyn Monroe over the subway grate was shot by Sam Shaw during the making of the movie The Seven Year Itch in 1954. This iconic image as well as the close friendship between Sam Shaw and Marilyn Monroe stand at the beginning of Shaw’s carrier as Hollywood’s movie stars photographer. "He often liked to work without poses, make-up or glitz and encouraged the starts to have fun and improvise" (Larry Shaw / Sam Shaw Family Archive). Not only did he shoot some of the most famous Hollywood images, but he was also a pioneer of a new artistic style and technique that paved the way for independent filmaking working very closely with John Cassevettes.

| 7.11.03 - 4.12.03 JIM RATTENBURY – NEW PAINTINGS AND WALL SCULPTURES Jim Rattenbury is equally intense as a painter and as a sculptor. His forms are a kind of metaphorical vocabulary – a visual language. Jim Rattenbury's paintings and sculptures are truly multi-layered – in technique as well as in symbolical meaning.

| 3.10.03 - 30.10.03 JUDITH GLAUS - MIRRORED Judith Glaus paints people in a way that reminds us of excellent black and white photography. These pictures are not portraits, they catch the essence of the person beyond the mere physical traits. Her paintings are both subtle and strong,her interpretation compassionate and lucid at the same time. Biography |  | |

| 29.8.03 - 25.9.03 GRUPO LAM, CUBA: REALISM – SURREALISM Grupo Lam, an independent group of Cuban artists was founded in Matanzas, Cuba in 1994. Their name is hommage to the famous Cuban painter Wilfredo Lam, 1902 – 1982. Grupo Lam are close to photorealism. Their work concentrates on Cuban social and political reality by using ambigious statements and symbols familiar to all Cubans with a pronounced ironical touch. Biography |  | |

| 5.12.02 - 15.1.03 MOVEMENT. FOR HUNTERS AND COLLECTORS Before 1920 galleries looked very different from today. No white walls with just one piece of art, but pictures from floor to ceiling with hardly any space between them. Berthe Weill, an old friend of Léon and Gustave Bollag did it this way, and so did Max G. Bollag in the long years he worked in his gallery. Once a year we shall revive this charming but chaotic method of showing art. |  | |

| 1.11.02 - 30.11.02 CELESTE BOLLACK – BOLLACK CHEZ BOLLAG Céleste Bollack is a discovery. The young French artist has a powerful colour palette and paints her world both in a bold and sensitive way. Earlier in her life, comics were a passion, nowadays they often turn up in her paintings. She loves great expressionist art. Some of its essence is visible in her work, transformed and treated in her own very personal way. Céleste Bollack is an artist to follow. Biography |  | |

| 16.11.01 - 1.12.01 SERGIO GALLI – MOSTLY SUNNY... "Storefronts, anonymous motels, empty chairs, freeways, cars... My canvases are dominated by their stark emptiness and loneliness. ...I try to capture the atmosphere, that sharp light which illuminates stillness. By focusing on the essential simplicity of objects and scenery, I try to capture a facet of American culture that has dominated my life, from cartoons to popart, to photorealism." Striking art work that goes beyong traditional photorealism. by distilling the essence of a scene. |  | |
