pace gallery berlin space opening

Pace Gallery and Judin Gallery have opened a shared exhibition space in a converted 1950s gas station in Berlin's Schöneberg neighborhood, just ahead of Gallery Weekend Berlin. The venue, known as Die Tankstelle, was previously a museum dedicated to German artist George Grosz. Pace rents half the space from Judin founder Juerg Judin, with both galleries sharing operational costs. For the inaugural shows, Judin is exhibiting works on paper by Tom of Finland downstairs, while Pace shows works by Jean Dubuffet, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Robert Nava upstairs. The galleries will alternate exhibitions, each mounting about three per year.

Gallery Weekend Berlin took place during the city's spring bloom, featuring exhibitions like Alvaro Urbano's melancholic installation "September and Lions" at ChertLüdde and Pamela Rosenkranz's flesh-toned water bottles at KaDeWe. The event kicked off on May Day and included expanded public tours, artist talks at the Neue Nationalgalerie, and a 24-hour window project. Notable attendees included collector Frédéric de Goldschmidt and celebrity Usher, who collected art. The weekend was marked by a mood of resilience despite political turmoil.

Gallery Weekend Berlin opens ranks as city faces identity crisis

Gallery Weekend Berlin (GWB) expands from 50 to 57 participating galleries in 2025, introducing a new section called Perspectives that features smaller, younger galleries previously excluded from the event. The 20-year-old event, which began with 21 dealers aiming to attract international collectors to Berlin, has grown into a major sales week for galleries. Perspectives includes galleries like Anton Janizewski and Persons Projects, with a reduced participation fee of €4,500 (half the usual €9,000), subsidized by the Berlin Senate. The selection committee invites galleries rather than accepting applications, a process that has faced accusations of elitism.

Antonia Ruder On the Role of Gallery Weekend Berlin in a Changing Art Market

Gallery Weekend Berlin returns for its 21st edition from May 2-4, 2025, featuring fifty-two galleries showcasing established and emerging artists. Antonia Ruder, who joined the event in 2023 and is now preparing her second full edition as director, discusses the festival's origins as a private initiative by five art dealers in 2005, its growth to become a global art calendar highlight, and its role as a premier platform for contemporary art in Germany in the absence of an international art fair in Berlin.
