Although the group quickly disbanded and its members went on to important international careers, CoBrA's ideas were enduring and groundbreaking. Many of the artists remained friends and collaborators for decades.

Based on personal friendships and connections, DIE GALERIE has long been committed to the artists of the CoBrA group. To this day, there is a particularly strong bond between gallery owner Peter Femfert and Pierre Alechinsky, one of the most influential networkers of CoBrA and, at 97 years of age, the last living representative of this group.
