Galerie EIGEN + ART in Leipzig is one of Germany’s most influential contemporary art galleries, renowned for its pioneering role in the country’s post-reunification art scene. Founded in 1983 by Gerd Harry Lybke as an independent studio during the GDR era, it became the first private gallery of its kind and quickly gained international recognition. Since 2005, its Leipzig branch has been located in the historic Baumwollspinnerei, a former cotton mill that has evolved into a major hub for contemporary art. The gallery represents both established and emerging artists working across painting, sculpture, photography, video, installation, and performance, including internationally acclaimed figures such as Neo Rauch, Carsten Nicolai, and Kristina Schuldt. With a sister space in Berlin, Galerie EIGEN + ART bridges local creativity with global networks, regularly presenting exhibitions that tour major cities worldwide. Its program is marked by a commitment to experimentation, conceptual rigor, and long-term collaboration with artists, making it a vital platform for innovation. Beyond exhibitions, the gallery contributes to Leipzig’s cultural identity, embodying the city’s transformation into a center of contemporary art with international reach.
