Deichtorhallen

The Deichtorhallen Hamburg are one of Europe’s largest art exhibition venues, and include the Haus der Photographie (House of Photography) as well as the exhibition hall for contemporary art.

Two tumble-down former market halls, almost 100 years old: What were they good for? A private sponsor and the Berlin architect Josef Paul Kleihues transformed them into Europe’s probably largest and most attractive exhibition rooms. 6000 square metres of floor space are available – thanks to mobile walls with many subdivision options.

Open steel and glass architecture highlight the spacious historic buildings which today offer room for spectacular, large-scale international exhibitions. Deichtorhallen Director Dr. Robert Fleck fills these rooms with international contemporary art grouped under particular headings – or with single shows on Warhol and Marc Chagall through to Haring.

This catalogue of artists is also supplemented by star photographers such as Newton, Leibowitz or Penn.
