From monumental sculptural works to fine-grained paintings, prints and drawings, the gallery's portfolio represents a unique range of artistic visions that reflect the pulse of our time.
Whether you are an established collector or a passionate newcomer to the art world, Galerie Gaia Schlegel is your trusted partner in navigating the ever-evolving landscape of contemporary art. I invite you to enjoy unforgettable art moments with Galerie Gaia Schlegel, where personal passion, expertise and individual advice come together.
Gaia Irina Schlegel
art historian (PhD student) | literary scholar | Art agent
Direct contact with works of art and artists is the basis of my professional and academic work. This first became apparent during my many years as an employee and head of art education at the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart and it is still fundamental to my work as a gallery owner today. As an art agent, I represent artists within the framework of individual projects and on the art market.
I studied in Tübingen, Tokyo and Lugano and completed my studies in 2023/2024 with a doctoral thesis on the visual construction of the patrimony.
