Galerie Crone

Galerie Crone was founded in 1982 by Ascan Crone and Mechthild von Dannenberg in Hamburg.

In its more than 40 years of existence, the gallery has made its mark as an essential part and driving force of the international art market. Crone runs gallery spaces, both in Vienna and Berlin. The gallery's programmatic focus is contemporary art that addresses social realities and political challenges with an aesthetic awareness. The gallery represents artists of various generations, origins, cultural backgrounds, and sexual orientation who are united by their desire for an open, tolerant, enlightened society and culture. Their work encompasses the entire range of artistic practices, media, and approaches, from painting and sculpture to installation and time-based art. In recent years artists represented by Crone have participated in Documenta, the Venice Biennale, the Lyon Biennale, Sharjah Biennial, and Curitiba Biennial. Their artwork is found in major private and institutional collections, from the MoMA in New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris to the Museum Ludwig in Cologne and the Albertina in Vienna. Crone regularly takes part in major international art fairs, including the Arco, Madrid, Artissima, Turin, Art Cologne, and Paris Photo among others.
