Our Story
WENTRUP was founded in 2004. A former stable in Berlin’s Prenzlauer Berg was the gallery’s first home. Conceived by Jan Wentrup as a space that reacted to the young, diverse, and international art scene of Berlin, for many artists of the gallery’s early days it became their first commercial platform.
Tina Wentrup joined in 2006 with her experience and expertise in contemporary theatre and dance from Paris and Berlin. Since then the gallery opened up toward more performative and non-object related art practices.
Over time WENTRUP carefully broadened its portfolio, which includes artist of older generations who were influential precursors to current art practices while still producing work that is closely connected to the contemporary zeitgeist.
WENTRUP’s portfolio now comprises 19 artistic positions that redefine and expand definitions of painting and sculpture, photography, film, and video and find solutions across genres that are both intellectually exciting and aesthetically appealing.
Since 2009, the gallery has been located in a former couture factory building from the 1950s at the northwest end of Kreuzberg, in close proximity to Potsdamer Platz and Neue Nationalgalerie.
In its 15th year WENTRUP will open with a new chapter and move to a spectacular new gallery space in the Charlottenburg district of Berlin in spring 2019.

Check out Hicham Berrada's interview on Art Media Agency.
Hicham Berrada is a “chemical-reaction manager” who explores scientific protocols. Through his revisited Land Art, Hicham Berrada mingles with living things, but often on a molecular scale. An artist with a yen for chemistry, he reinvents a number of natural processes to create highly original landscapes. Situated somewhere between nature and artifice…
Have you ever seen a field of dandelions releasing white haloes in the middle of the night? Or a blue cloud forming in a matter of seconds, like a turbulent sky painted by eighteenth-century French artist François Boucher? Or else timeless landscapes materialising from fragile aquatic gardens, or abstract galaxies being born before your eyes? What, you might ask, is the key to this magic? Yet Hicham Berrada is not a magician but a virtuoso in physics experiments. An alchemist-artist, he orchestrates chemical combinations in the way that a painter will play with the colours on his palette. In his studio, there are no canvases but little boxes stacked up on top of one another. Waiting to be activated to express their magic and to unfurl dreamlike landscapes.
On the occasion of the launch event of the new art initiative, S.M.S - S**t Must Stop - Munich, Gregor Hildebrandt did his first performance “The Eroski Show”. The artist needed nothing more than a drying rack, about 25 packs of scented Eroski handkerchiefs, 150 clothespins, 2 fans and 3 students from his Academy class to stage his expressive performance.
On July 5, 2018 from 18:30 pm is the artist talk: Olaf Metzel in conversation with Stefan Trinks at the Pinakothek der Moderne, Ernst von Siemens Auditorium. “Journey to Jerusalem” is not only the title of a children’s game, but also one of the most famous works of the sculptor Olaf Metzel.
