about

DUVE Berlin is an independent salon gallery based in Berlin, Germany, with a focus on emerging artists. The gallery’s program is dedicated to providing a critical platform for conceptually driven and contextually aware practices across painting, sculpture, video, mixed media, and print.

In a world marked by increasing connectivity and accelerated exchange, DUVE Berlin advocates for artistic practices that are nuanced, rigorous, and meaningful. The gallery supports a younger generation of artists whose work reflects a deep awareness of contemporary conditions while engaging with historically informed techniques and references.

 

DUVE Berlin is particularly interested in artistic positions that engage with themes of urbanism, late capitalism, identity politics, and ongoing political transformation, while maintaining a strong commitment to formal clarity and material sensibility. The gallery seeks to bridge innovation and accessibility, valuing originality and works of lasting aesthetic presence.

Founded in 2007 by Alexander Duve and Birte Kleemann under the name *Duvekleemann*, the gallery took its current form in 2008 when Alexander Duve became sole proprietor. In 2012, DUVE Berlin relocated from its original space on Invalidenstraße, opposite Hamburger Bahnhof, to an industrial space on Gitschinerstraße in Kreuzberg, where it remained until 2017. Since December 2018, the gallery has been located in a loft space at Michaelkirchstraße 15 in Berlin-Mitte and turned from a white cube into a solon.

 

DUVE Berlin has participated in major international art fairs including Art Basel; Art Cologne; Zona Maco, Mexico City;  ARCO, Madrid; Artissima Turin; Art Brussels; NADA New York; abc Art Berlin Contemporary, Art LA Contemporary, miart, Milan and others. The gallery represented artists who have held solo exhibitions at internationally recognized institutions such as Palais de Tokyo, Paris; MoMA, NY; Nottingham Contemporary; Modern Art Oxford; the Museum of Contemporary Art Leipzig; and the Musée Cantonal des Beaux-Arts.
