Profil

1986 opening of the first gallery Falkenstern Fine Art, 584-588 Broadway, Soho, New York, by Armin Sprotte with contemporary art from Europe, China, USA. The eighties were a special time in New York City, marked by Ileana Sonnabend and Leo Castelli, among others.

1991 back in Europe on Madeira, FFA presented art in the Bauhaus style premises on a cliff edge 55m above the Atlantic.

Since 2006, Galerie Falkenstern Fine Art has been located in the converted studio of the German painter Siegward Sprotte (1913-2004) in Kampen in the Alte Dorfstraße on the isle of Sylt.

Here the focus has been on contemporary art from Europe, the USA, China and India as well as the estate of Siegward Sprotte. During his lifetime, Sprotte held studio talks here in Kampen, met friends and companions from all over the world and thus made his studio a cosmopolitan meeting place. This tradition is continued today with exhibitions, lectures and concerts.

Today Falkenstern Fine Art complements Siegward Sprotte’s estate with specially selected contemporary art. With exhibitions in renowned museums such as the Pushkin Museum (1989), the Gulbenkian Museum (1993), the Shanghai Art Museum (1996) or the Wuhan Art Museum (2011), the international recognition for Sprotte’s oeuvre grew.

„Art is not a substitute, it is a vital necessity.“.
