CFA - Contemporary Fine Arts

Gallery for Contemporary Art CONTEMPORARY FINE ARTS has been in existence since 1992 and is managed by Bruno Brunnet and Nicole Hackert.

Formerly located in Berlin-Charlottenburg, the gallery was then situated from 1996 in Sophie-Gips-Höfe, Berlin-Mitte. From November 2007 through May 2017 the gallery was located in the iconic Chipperfield building directly across from Museum Island in Berlin-Mitte. At the end of 2016 CFA returned to Charlottenburg, opening a new space on Grolmanstraße. The gallery’s program concentrates on interna

tional contemporary art in a broad spectrum of media. Painting is prominently represented by the painters GEORG BASELITZ (D), CECILY BROWN (USA), PETER DOIG (GB), MARCEL EICHNER (D), ROBERT LUCANDER (D/FIN), CHRIS OFILI (GB), TAL R (DK), DANIEL RICHTER (D), DANA SCHUTZ (USA) and NORBERT SCHWONTKOWSKI (D). The oeuvre of MARC BRANDENBURG (D) and RAYMOND PETTIBON (USA) is almost exclusively restricted to drawings. MAX FRISINGER’s (D), THOMAS KIESEWETTER’s (D), KATJA STRUNZ’s (D) main field is sculpture.

As part of this year’s Art Basel Exclusive Program, we unveiled our presentation of works by the late Austrian artist Walter Pichler alongside British artist Sarah Lucas’s striking portrait of fellow artist Maggi Hambling, depicted as one of Lucas’s iconic Bunnies.

After gaining recognition in the 1960s for futuristic, dystopian works made from then-novel materials such as PVC, fiberglass, and other synthetic industrial elements, Pichler underwent a radical shift in both life and practice when he moved in 1972 to a historic farmstead in St. Martin, Burgenland. Clay, plaster, wood, straw, and metal — in short, materials drawn largely from his natural surroundings — became central to his work, alongside what he described as the “material of time.”

Join us tomorrow in Basel from 6-9pm for the opening of Maja Ruznic’s second solo exhibition with the gallery, “Who Tastes Fire and Cannot Speak”.

“Made especially for this presentation, Ruznic’s new oil paintings move between figuration and abstraction without treating either mode as stable ground. Contours blur as if softened by mist. A head may take the shape of a receptacle. A room can resemble an organ. A silhouette seems to fade into pigment before it can fully declare itself. Rather than starting from a predetermined concept, the artist allows each canvas to develop through process. Her readings and surroundings enter the studio over time, giving each work a deliberate yet unsettled tension.”

We look forward to welcoming you during Art Basel!

Opening hours:
Tuesday - Thursday: 09:00–19:00
Friday - Sunday: 11:00–18:00

Julien Heintz’ “Nouveaux Tableaux” – the Artist’s first solo-exhibition in Germany – is on view for one more week, until June 6th in our Berlin Gallery.

“A spectral quality runs through Nouveaux Tableaux, though not in any gothic or uncanny way. It belongs to remembrance. Heintz approaches the past in order to ask what lingers, and how neglected stories bear on the world today. The exhibition invites immersion in that unstable territory where individual destinies meet larger forces. Nothing here is reduced to innocence or guilt alone. Each subject holds its own burden. Together, they open onto a broader register, letting viewers move between singular lives and a shared condition.”

We also congratulate Julien Heintz on being announced as one of the finalists for this year’s Prix Jean-François Prat.

“Keep on Truckin [I-III]” are part of our current exhibition at Contemporary Fine Arts Berlin with Travis MacDonald.

“Had A Farm” introduces a world with its own logic. MacDonald has developed this language over time, using it as a vehicle for storytelling and observation. Here, it grows sharper and more decisive. The show invites viewers into a charged social space where identification remains open and belonging stays provisional. It is a place of attraction and unease. The pull of a group is palpable, as is the strain that shadows any departure from the norm. These paintings do not offer escape. They ask how closeness can hold under pressure, and whether something larger than the self might still be forged.

Travis MacDonald “Had A Farm” remains on view in Berlin until June 6th.

Contemporary Fine Arts Basel is pleased to present Maja Ruznic’ “Who Tastes Fire and Cannot Speak” open from June 14th with an opening reception on June 15th from 6-9 PM, and coinciding with Art Basel 2026.

In her second solo exhibition with CFA, Maja Ruznic presents a new body of work that continues her exploration of memory, spirituality and transformation.

“The title comes from Louise Glück’s poem Day Without Night. Ruznic was drawn to the poem’s inversion of hell. Instead of darkness and flame, Glück depicts a world held in relentless light, where exposure turns into torment. For the artist, this reversal opened a way to think about the need for shadow. In these works, peace does not belong to clarity alone. It is found in obscurity, in moonlit zones where thought is not yet verbal and feeling has not hardened into certainty.”

Anna Tuori “Crimson & Clover” is currently on view until June 6th in our Basel Gallery.

“A dialogue with the history of painting runs through the exhibition. Tuori is attentive to still life, especially the memento mori, yet she does not construct direct vanitas quotations. Her relation to tradition is broader and more organic. It emerges through weight, atmosphere, and the emotional temperature of each scene. Her paintings ask how mortality inhabits ordinary life, and how one lives with that knowledge amid comfort. There is an existential undertow here, but also empathy. The works retain tenderness even when they address harsh subjects.

Animals such as cows, deer, and cats recur in these paintings. They stand in for the human body, though in a depersonalized way. Through them, vulnerability becomes easier to share. This leaves space for projection without directing us toward a fixed identity. The animals appear lifeless, suspended upside down. Their carcasses hang with full mass, making gravity visible. This arrangement recalls classical still life while intensifying the emotional charge.”
