Galerie Paffrath is one of Düsseldorf’s most prestigious art galleries, with a legacy spanning five generations. Founded in 1867 by Johann Baptist Paffrath, the gallery began as a carpentry business that evolved into a major art dealership during the Wilhelmine era. Today, it specializes in 19th and 20th-century German painting, particularly works from the Düsseldorf School, and also features select contemporary artists. Located on Königsallee, Galerie Paffrath offers collectors and visitors access to masterpieces by artists such as Emil Nolde, Paul Signac, and Gerhard Richter. The gallery is known for its expert curation, personalized advisory services, and seasonal exhibitions, including the recent “Walter Ophey” show. With its refined interiors and rooftop event space, Galerie Paffrath remains a cornerstone of Düsseldorf’s cultural and commercial art scene.
