Founded in 2022, Galerie Newman thrives in the heart of Berlin’s vibrant Nollendorf district, where it celebrates and elevates queer art.
“We believe in the transformative power of art, particularly when it delves into the rich and complex themes of identity, sexuality, and diversity,” says Isah Oral, CEO and founder of Newman Agency and Galerie Newman. By curating a diverse range of works from global artists, the gallery’s mission is to spark inspiration and foster connections between seasoned collectors and those just beginning their journey into the art world.
“Our core values – dedication, inclusivity, and innovation – are the driving force behind our commitment to pushing the boundaries of contemporary art. We take pride in nurturing emerging talents from all walks of life, providing them with a platform to express themselves freely,” adds Oral.
Today, the gallery is renowned for works by LGBTQ+ artists, reflecting the diverse and progressive atmosphere of the queer area at Nollendorfplatz, Berlin. Whether you are looking to buy, sell, or appraise your artwork, the gallery offers expert guidance and support. Within its extensive network of museums, art collections, foundations, and auction houses, it collaborates with specialists to accurately assess the value of each piece.
Oral (founder and owner of the gallery) explains; “As a gallery, we are always interested in acquiring exceptional works. Additionally, we offer the option to exhibit pieces on consignment, allowing for a better understanding of audience reactions before making a final decision. Using modern technology, we document and catalogue collections, creating professional dossiers and exposés that help secure artworks and facilitate the next steps in their journey.”
