[edit] History

Facing the challenge of a continuously redefining art scene, Arndt & Partner emphasised a programme free of trends or (formal) standards from the beginning. Opening a new space in the "Hackesche Höfe" in Mitte in 1994, Arndt and Partner was amongst the first galleries to establish itself in the new centre of Berlin.

The discovery of emerging Berlin artists and the formation of an international programme of artistic positions which had often not yet been exhibited in Berlin nor in Germany beforehand, have since then become the cornerstones of the gallery profile. In 1997, Arndt & Partner moved to Auguststrasse so as to contribute to the newly emerging gallery centre. There Arndt & Partner developed into an internationally operating art business, which meanwhile belongs to the leading galleries of contemporary art and celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2004.

In September 2001 Arndt & Partner moved to a 380 sqm exhibition and office space on Zimmerstrasse, close to the former Checkpoint Charlie.

[edit] Present

In 2006 Arndt & Partner decided to expand and opened an additional space right above the main Gallery 1st Floor in 2006. The 400 sqm Gallery 2nd Floor allows for large-scale, complex and museum-like installations and along with this spatial expansion, the gallery's artistic programme was redefined and condensed. Projects by video-artists from the gallery program are regularly shown in the film lounge and a private viewing Room.

Participating at important international art fairs, such as Art Basel, Art Basel Miami Beach, The Armory Show, New York and Frieze Art Fair in London, Arndt & Partner has developed an international network operating from Berlin which is further broadened by its branch in Zurich.
