until 05.05. | #4650ARTatBerlin | Galerie Kremers shows from 13. February 2026 the exhibition ABSTRACT – North America – Germany – An Atlantic Bridge II – NOW? with works by the artists Christian Achenbach, Fiona Ackerman, Adochi, Claudia Chaseling, Jonni Cheatwood, Virginia Glasmacher, Gregor Hiltner, Juan Logan, Natascha Mann, Robert Rauschenberg, Robert Szot, Howard Sherman, Ernst Weil and Taylor A. White.
This is a continuation of the 2019 exhibition “The New Abstract – An Atlantic Bridge – USA – BERLIN”, featuring both established and emerging artists from both sides of the Atlantic. Given the deteriorating political relations, one might expect a breakdown rather than the rebuilding of bridges; yet this is not the case in the realm of art.
Since the days of De Kooning and Kurt Schwitters, a dialogue has been taking place across the transatlantic bridge in the universal language of painting, through which the partners have mutually influenced and enriched one another.
Social media and the globalisation of the market have further reinforced this trend. One could say that the artists are weaving a shared visual language through a rampant process of mutual appropriation.
We have taken account of the fact that this dialogue also takes place across generations by including the German post-war artist Ernst Weil and the American Robert Rauschenberg. The extent to which they serve as sources of inspiration and dialogue partners for their younger successors becomes evident here.
Opening: Friday, 13. February 2026, from 7 to 9 pm
Exhibition dates: Friday, 13. February – Tuesday, 05. May 2026
