Galerie Boisserée, a bastion of creativity, first opened its doors in Cologne in 1838 as a haven for art enthusiasts. Under the visionary leadership of gallerists Johannes Schilling and Thomas Weber, this esteemed establishment has flourished into a thriving hub for contemporary art. Johannes, inheriting the gallery from his father, became the sole owner in 1988, infusing his own artistic sensibilities into the space. With the rebranding as J. & W. Boisserée GmbH in 1990, Johannes took on the role of Managing Partner, orchestrating the curation of captivating exhibitions that showcase the vast private collection the gallery possesses. Joining him on this audacious venture, Thomas Weber joined the gallery in 1995 and rose to the position of Managing Partner in 1998. Together, their creative ingenuity and passion for the arts have propelled Galerie Boisserée to the forefront of the contemporary art scene.
