Description

Gallerist Christian Ehrentraut has been working in the Berlin art scene for years, starting at the renowned EIGEN+ART and later heading the artist-run LIGA Gallery which catapulted several painters from the so-called New Leipzig School to early fame. In 2005, Ehrentraut opened his first commercial gallery on Brunnenstrasse, then ran a salon-style space from his home in 2007 and 2008. In early 2009, the latest incarnation of Galerie Christian Ehrentraut opened on a spacious courtyard space on Friedrichstrasse. Still representing a number of LIGA artists, the gallery exhibits primarily two-dimensional work, widening it's roster to installation and sculpture and International artists such as Canadian Shannon Finley and Tel Aviv-based Anan Tzukerman. The Gallery published numerous artist books in cooperation with LUBOK Verlag (www.lubok.de), publisher of original graphic picture books, that was founded by artist Christoph Ruckhaberle in 2007, among them publications accompanying exhibitions by Shannon Finley (2010) , Franziska Holstein, Stephanie Dost and Ruprecht von Kaufmann (all 2009). Each exhibition is also accompanied by an original signed and numbered print in different media in an edition of 400 copies.
