On the occasion of the Season Opening, Edward Mitterrand, Gérard Sanz and their director Fabian Lang are pleased to announce a group show featuring the artists exhibited during the third year of existence of the gallery.

It was an overwhelming period with great artists, such as Les frères Chapuisat, Peter Kogler, Koka Ramishvili, Ricardo Rendón and Fred Wilson, accepting to join us or confirming their attachment to the gallery. For this exhibition we will arrange a selection of works from each of the above mentioned artists with the hope that this group of pieces will somewhat illustrate the spirit of the gallery.

In that very year the gallery has strengthened its position on the international art market and experienced recognition by major art fairs such as NADA (Miami) and Independent (New York) which are certainly considered to be the best young art fairs in the USA. FIAC (2010 edition), the prominent french fair has also accepted our application.

Since its opening in 2007, the gallery, in addition of the usual difficulties related to the creation of a new business, had to experience a certain number of challenges such as its relocation from Lessingstrasse and the recent financial worldwide situation which deeply affected the art market. Nevertheless, we have been able to overcome these obstacles much helped by the existent and the new artists represented by the gallery. It’s also through our collaboration with Ami Barak, the prominent French curator, that we managed to achieve together these successes.

With the relocation of the major galleries, for a period of two years, of the Löwenbräu Areal due to the refurbishment of the building, our neighbourhood environment is facing drastic change from which new opportunities may arise.

For the new period 2010/2011 Mitterrand+Sanz will continue focusing its ambition to work with established and mid career artists, to participate at major art fairs and to bring in new local and international collectors.
