DIE GALERIE

For its 12th participation at BRAFA, DIE GALERIE presents an exhibition that reflects the full scope of its vast gallery programme, showcasing a diverse selection of works ranging from Expressionism and Surrealism to CoBrA and contemporary art. The presentation brings together rediscovered masterpieces alongside exciting new highlights, making it an unmissable destination for collectors, professionals and art enthusiasts.

At its long-standing position in booth 88, visitors will have the opportunity to view an expressive early still life by the renowned Expressionist painter Max Beckmann (1884-1950). Having remained in a private collection for decades, this significant work is now being shown publicly once again. Standing guard over the booth is a monumental “guardian figure” by Max Ernst (1891-1976), titled Séraphin le néophyte. Additional works by major 20th-century artists such as André Masson (1896-1987) and Marino Marini (1901-1980) further enrich the presentation. 

A particular highlight of BRAFA 2026 is an impressive relief created from folded mulberry paper by Korean artist Kwang Young Chun (born 1944). This piece captivates viewers with its powerful shade of red and the artist’s extraordinary technical finesse.
