Knust Kunz Gallery Editions

Munich, DE

Knust Kunz Gallery Editions was founded in 1982 under the name Galerie Sabine Knust. Continuous collaborations with artists like Georg Baselitz, Per Kirkeby, A. R. Penck, Markus Lüpertz, Jörg Immendorff and Imi Knoebel formed an ongoing presentation of their print and graphic oevre for over 30 years. In 1998 Matthias Kunz joined as partner. Over its almost 40 years history the gallery expanded the program gradually, representing international artists of different generations and media today.

Additionally to the main space near Odeonsplatz, KNUSTxKUNZ+ was opened in Munich´s Museums quarter in 2010. Dedicated to up-and-coming artists but also holding space for new edition projects and publications this second space broadens the possibilities of presentation and interaction. In July 2021 Knust Kunz expanded to Belgium, with third exhibition space in Knokke-Heist.

The presentation of monotypes offers a glimpse into the inspiring possibilities of that medium. A painterly organization of forms and colors transforms into a permanent image by the printing process. The existential moment of creation culminates in the few moments of pressure for implementing the pigment into the paper. Artistic vision, painterly craftmansship and a moment of chance combine themselves into the finished work. The final decision of acceptance lies with the artist. The final control is opened to a fruitful implementation chance. The mastery lies in the decision of acceptance or rejection by the artist, as art historian Pontus Hultén observed in his analysis.
