Precious photographic rarities are for sale at the Roschlaub Gallery. The young artist Hans Prignitz doing a handstand on the railing of the Michel, the famous "nude" pictures of Helmut Newton, Nelson Mandela returning to his prison cell on Robben Island for a reportage by photographer Jürgen Schadeberg – these are true photographic treasures that can be seen and purchased at the Roschlaub Gallery in Harvestehude. With Anatol Kotte from the Capitis Gallery, gallery owner Kirsten Roschlaub has brought together 25 extraordinary black-and-white people photographs (all originals) from private collections; Kotte himself has also contributed a picture to the exhibition. All of them, whether prominent or not, exude a special aura. Other photographic artists include Horst P. Horst, FC Gundlach, Norman Parkinson, Burt Glinn, and Hansel Mieth. "Such a high-caliber exhibition with works by true masters is rare," says the gallery owner. "We are delighted to offer connoisseurs of timeless photographic art the opportunity to acquire these true rarities for their collections."
Gallery owner Kirsten Roschlaub combines photography and painting
The Roschlaub Gallery in Harvestehude concludes the year with a group exhibition featuring the works of renowned photographer Jochen Blume (1925–2018) and Josef Fischnaller, born in 1964, alongside an internationally acclaimed painter: Elsa Gárate, born in 1968. All of the portraits on display, whether created with a brush or a camera, convey the same values and similar emotions. Their themes are closeness and distance, the moment of pleasure, and the preservation of the past. Art preserves. In this case, people who have significantly shaped our world. In the gallery's new exhibition, Kirsten Roschlaub presents her work.
"Gárate, Fischnaller, Blume" until March 3, 2025, Galerie Roschlaub (until 19.1 Böttgerstraße), Mittelweg 21, Tue–Fri 11:00–18:30 and by appointment. Free admission, www.galerie-roschlaub.
The Roschlaub Gallery on Mittelweg opened the exhibition with paintings by artist Elsa Gárate and photographs by Josef Fischnaller. Gárate traveled from Spain especially to be there. "I immediately fell in love with Elsa's work," said gallery owner Kirsten Roschlaub. "It was always clear to me that I wanted to remain open to her other forms of art." Bringing photography and painting together in this exhibition simply made sense. Because all the portraits on display—whether created with a brush or a camera—convey the same values and similar feelings. They are about closeness and distance, about the present moment and the preservation of the past. Art preserves. In this case, it preserves people who significantly shape our world."
