Galleries are a hotspot for Hamburg's society. And it's not just the art that's the focus.
Art and culinary delights, combined with an exclusively selected audience – this is currently a social trend in Hamburg's galleries. Here, high society gathers for a three-course meal while admiring exquisite paintings. For example, at the Herold Gallery's Ladies Lunch, the current exhibition "Classic meets Contemporary" was the topic of conversation.
In other words, “Our focus is on the dialogue between works of classical modernism and contemporary art,” said curator Isabel Deimel.
The concept of the exhibition and the accompanying catalogue is intended to reflect the gallery's philosophy: eras and styles are fluid, providing inspiration and evolving, but never losing their origins. The children of the family also have art in their blood: Patrick and Katharina Marie Herold, both of whom have already made a name for themselves with their own galleries on Sylt.
For the past few months, the family has not only been commuting between the North Sea island and the Hanseatic city, but also spending time in Mallorca. There, Katharina Marie Herold has established her new home and is opening a new art space called Heroldian Art Concepts.
Everything should be completely finished this fall. In contrast, the Roschlaub Gallery on Mittelweg currently has a spring-like feel. Floral motifs by Josef Fischnaller adorn the walls. The Upper Austrian artist, who lives in Berlin, was present at the Collector's Lunch and described his photographic art with the newly coined term "liquography."
He declined to reveal the details of his creative process. However, this didn't bother the guests, who were equally captivated by the vibrant art. "This is exactly what we need right now – color," said interior designer Ulrike Krages, who was reminded of colorful candy wrappers and ice cream from her childhood. Model Marie Amière, on the other hand, was looking forward to the arrival of spring: "Hamburg is simply at its most beautiful then and in the summer." For jewelry designer
Colleen B. Rosenblat already smells of spring, but she will be leaving the city for a week in the coming days and traveling to Israel with her ex-husband and children. Beauty expert Eveline Urselmann, considered a secret weapon by some celebrities, is also going away with her family; "We will celebrate Easter in Sankt Peter-Ording – with an Easter bonfire, brunch, and of course, we'll be hiding sweets."
ART & SPORT OPENING
At the "Galerie Roschlaub", Hamburg's high society mingled with well-known heavyweights from the boxing scene for the opening and book presentation of "The Klatten Power Boxing System".
The exhibition features photographs by Hamburg photographer Christian Barz, who photographed boxers for the coffee-table fitness book by Hamburg trainer Moritz Klatten. Gallery owner Kirsten Roschlaub is delighted with the theme.
"With this book, Moritz Klatten and Christian Barz have created a wonderful symbiosis of art and sport."
ART ENJOYMENT
The opening of the exhibition "The Golden Age of Hollywood," featuring black and white photographs from the 1930s and 1950s, drew a full house at the Roschlaub Gallery at Mittelweg 21. This era was marked by brilliant actors like Elizabeth Taylor and James Dean, and by award-winning, groundbreaking films. The accompanying photo art collection comprises a selection of works, including those by photographers Frank Worth and Ernest Bachrach.
ALEXANDRA KAMP POSING INSTEAD OF PROTESTING

Inspiration: A painting of Napoleon's younger sister, Bonaparte. Josef Fischnaller told BILD: "Alexandra has a beautiful bust and no problem showing it off." We agree…

Budelmann. Kirsten Roschlaub commented: "With this book, Moritz Klatten and Christian Barz have created a wonderful symbiosis of art and sport."
AFGHANS ON THE MIDDLE WAY
Mullahs, a child with a football, women wearing burkas – Hamburg-based photographer Jens Umbach portrayed them all on his second trip to Mazar-i-Sharif in Afghanistan. Sixty of his works are now on display at the Roschlaub Gallery under the title "The Afghans" until the beginning of November. "I am deeply impressed by the portraits I am allowed to exhibit," says Kirsten Roschlaub. "You have the feeling that you are getting to know the people in front of the camera. Jens Umbach brings them astonishingly close." Among the guests were star architect Hadi Teherani, Stefani Nennecke (IPANI), jewelry designer Colleen B. Rosenblat, as well as Nikolas Graf von Bernstorff and Julia Ruhnke (Queen for a Day). "I am very happy to be able to exhibit this passion project here," says photographer Umbach. "Most people have a preconceived notion about Afghanistan. I want to show them the people as they really are."
