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. In July 2009, the gallery moved to its current location behind the Hamburger Bahnhof museum.
