About

WENTRUP was founded in 2004 in Berlin. Conceived as a space that reacted to the young, diverse, and international art scene of Berlin, for many artists of the gallery's early days, it became their first commercial platform. In 2009, the gallery relocated to a former couture factory building from the 1950s in Berlin's Kreuzberg district. From 2016 to 2018, the gallery was running an additional project space, WNTRP, in Berlin's art district at Potsdamer Straße. Since 2019, the gallery space has been located to West Berlin, in a listed brick building typical of the New Objectivity movement of the 1920s at Knesebeckstrasse. A year later, WENTRUP II opened as a second gallery space in Charlottenburg. From 2021, WENTRUP AM FEENTEICH, presented exhibitions and discursive events in an Art Nouveau villa in Hamburg, deliberately distinguishing itself from a conventional white cube context. With its first international branch, WENTRUP VENEZIA is continuing the same objective: the conceptualisation of exhibitions in architecturally remarkable locations. Located adjacent to Ospedale SS. Giovanni e Paolo in the Cannaregio district, the gallery is housed in a historic building previously used as the studio of Italian fashion designer Giuliana Camerino, a pioneer in the 20th century Italian fashion scene.
