Drawing Room

The two art historians Alexander and Esther Sairally established the Drawing Room in Hamburg in March 2014. The gallery’s program focuses on national and international emerging artists and mid-career artists, alternating solo exhibitions and curated group presentations. For many of the artists shown, their exhibition with Drawing Room was their first exposure in Hamburg or Northern Germany. Located in a Wilhelminian style apartment building, Drawing Room offers a platform for exhibitions of a more intimate and personal format. In the private setting of a drawing room, visitors are encouraged to have an intensive encounter with current artistic positions from a wide range of genres aided by regular exhibition introductions or artist’s talks by museum experts and curators. The gallery’s programme focuses on artistic practices referencing conceptual art and minimalism, showing national and international emerging artists as well as mid-career and established artists, alternating solo exhibitions and curated group presentations.
