Galerie Paffrath

In addition, the gallery sells paintings by classical modernist painters as well as works by 19th-century Scandinavian artists such as Peder Mönsted [de] and Johan Laurentz Jensen.

His carpenter's workshop was located at Ritterstraße 3 in the early 1860s,[1] in which he made the transport boxes for the works of the painters of the Düsseldorf School of Painting and the professors of the Art Academy, which were in great demand overseas.

In 1914, the gallery moved to the house built by the architect Hermann vom Endt at Königsallee 46, where it is still located today.

They expanded the range to include modernity and established relationships with artists and collectors from England, Italy, France, Scandinavia or the USA, making Paffrath an international art house.

After the destruction of the Second World War, Hans-Georg Paffrath [de] rebuilt the gallery from 1948, resuming the tradition his great-grandfather had established in 1867 when he laid the foundation stone for the Kunsthaus, and campaigning for the revaluation of the Düsseldorf School of Painting, which had by then been overshadowed by modernism.
