The Gallery Weekend Berlin is one of the leading events for contemporary art in Germany and invites visitors to take a tour of Berlin's creative scene.

2025 marks the 21st edition of the Gallery Weekend. This year, 52 galleries are taking part in the event. They will present works by over 80 artists from more than 20 countries at 59 locations. Over the years, Gallery Weekend has developed into a top-selling event on the art market.

Highlights of the Gallery Weekend 2025

• With "Sculptures and Drawings", the Buchmann-Galerie is showing characteristic sculptures by the British-German artist Tony Cragg.
• For the Gallery Weekend, Galerie Barbara Thumm is presenting works by the artist Roméo Mivekannin from Côte d'Ivoire, among others. His paintings challenge his audience in a variety of ways to engage with pressing issues of the past and present.
• The BQ Gallery invites you to discover the absurdity, poetry and humor of the performance group “The Brotherhood of New Blockheads”.
• At this year's Gallery Weekend, the Galerie Crone is showing works by US artist Anthony Goicolea. He combines an expressionist style with surreal elements and stands out in particular for his playful humor.
• New photographs by cult director Wim Wenders can be admired in "Nearby and Far Away" at Galerie Bastian.
• With his diverse use of film, video, photography, collage, installation and live performance, Cyprien Gaillard invites you with "Retinal Rivalry" to get to know his extraordinary cosmos. He is presenting his new film at Galerie Sprüth Magers for Gallery Weekend 2025.
• Spotlights, foils and polarizing filters: Galerie Neugerriemschneider is showing a colourful exhibition by Danish artist Olafur Eliasson.
• A particular focus of Sun Yitian's “Romantic Room” at Esther Schipper are paintings that draw on religious iconography and motifs from art history and appear in sophisticated compositions.
