Galerie Sommer

Founded by Gerhard Sommer in Graz in 1989, the gallery focuses on Austrian artists who have had a decisive influence on art since 1945. These include Günter Brus, Hermann Nitsch, Otto Muehl and Rudolf Schwarzkogler from the group of Viennese Actionists, who were internationally recognised and imitated for their radical equation of art and life. The gallery also presents other outstanding positions in contemporary art. In 2021, the gallery, formerly known as Galerie Kunst & Handel, moved into its new spacious exhibition rooms on the outskirts of Graz.
