We are also delighted to announce the opening of an exhibition dedicated to Raimund Girke, presenting a focused selection of his refined works on paper that highlight his subtle exploration of light, rhythm, and materiality.

He participated in the 1977 edition of Documenta VI in Kassel, Germany, and is widely known for his investigations of the colour white.
