Launched at the beginning of 2005, upstairs berlin’s exhibition spaces are located on Am Kupfergraben 10 in central Berlin. The gallery is directed by its cofounders Harriet Haeussler and Aeneas Bastian. Upstairs berlin’s programme concentrates on young, contemporary art and in particular emerging and mid-career positions. The gallery exhibits both German and international artists and promotes the long-term development of their artistic careers.

In addition to the solo exhibitions of the represented artists, thematic group exhibitions as well as the collaboration with international galleries, institutions and curators and the participation in art fairs shape the profile of the gallery.

Apart from the support of contemporary art based on its broad experience within the art market, upstairs berlin has a professional and customised service for advising individuals and businesses on acquiring 20th and 21st century art.

Whether an already established collector or a novice seeking to build up his own collection and according to that client’s personal demands, upstairs berlin offers consultation in sourcing and purchasing suitable works from artists’ studios, galleries and art fairs.
