Berlin Meets Beverly Hills and Athens Blooms with Artful Secrets

A gallery known for its cosmopolitan flair is making waves by planting roots in two unexpected cities this spring. Michael Werner Gallery, already a fixture in New York, London, and Berlin, is expanding to Los Angeles and Athens—each with its own twist. In Beverly Hills, the new gallery space isn’t just about white walls; it’s a collaboration between cutting-edge architects and a celebrated landscape designer, creating a blend of art and nature. The debut show pairs the bold strokes of German painter Markus Lüpertz with the poetic visions of 19th-century French artist Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, sparking a dialogue across centuries. Meanwhile, the garden courtyard will host poetry and performances, curated by a local gallerist, adding a living, breathing layer to the experience. Athens, on the other hand, offers a more intimate setting—semi-private, with just two exhibitions a year, inviting slow discovery. As these new doors open, the gallery’s global story grows, weaving fresh threads into the fabric of contemporary art. #ContemporaryArt #GalleryOpening #LosAngelesArt #Culture
