Johann König (art dealer)

"[15] König Galerie was initially located at Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz, then moved to Dessauer Straße near Martin-Gropius-Bau and Neue Nationalgalerie in 2006.

In May 2015, König Galerie took up a second location at St Agnes in Kreuzberg,[15][14][16] a former Catholic church complex that was built in the 1960s by the German architect and city planner Werner Düttmann and considered to be a prime example of Brutalism.

[2] In 2012, König signed a long-term lease for the complex, and it was converted by the German architect Arno Brandlhuber into an exhibition space for his gallery.

[19] Today, the building also accommodates other tenants, including New York University Berlin’s art studio.

[4][14][17][20][21] In 2016, König Galerie reopened its original Dessauer Straße location for Gallery Weekend Berlin.

[14][22] Since the gallery moved into St Agnes, the space at Dessauer Straße is also the studio of Jeppe Hein.

[25] In 2023, König Galerie opened a second space in Berlin, in a complex that once housed the postal service’s telegraph office.

König Galerie represents among others the following artists:[12][14][29][30] Koo Jeong A, Kathryn Andrews, Micol Assaël, Evelyn Axell, Norbert Bisky, Claudia Comte, Jose Dávila, Tue Greenfort, [31] Jeppe Hein, Karl Horst Hödicke, Robert Janitz, Annette Kelm, Manfred Kuttner, Alicja Kwade, Justin Matherly, Anselm Reyle, Michael Sailstorfer, Andreas Schmitten, John Seal, Chiharu Shiota, Monira Al Qadiri, Bosco Sodi, Matthias Weischer, Johannes Wohnseifer, David Zink Yi, and Erwin Wurm.
