Gallery owner, Sybille Mang, in front of the entrance to the ManGallery
The ManGallery first opened its doors to the public in its premises in the old-town section of Lindau on Lake Constance in June 2006. Owner of the gallery for Beauty and Erotic Art is Sybille Mang, herself a passionate collector of contemporary art.
For over one year now Sybille Mang has dedicated her keen sense of recognising good art and promising talent not only to her own private collection but also to the public through her new gallery. The ManGallery operates predominantly with students and graduates of leading academies of art and offers outstanding up-and-coming young artists a platform on which to present their newest works.
The gallery concentrates on young German and international contemporary art devoted to the themes of beauty and erotic. In their works, the artists represented by the gallery explore and visualize these themes in a variety of ways – poetically and provocatively, romantically and sensually, with pure fantasy or factual realism.
The examples of beauty and erotic art on show come from the media of painting, graphic art and photography. While one section of the gallery presents a selection of works by renowned and established artists such as Rita Ackermann, Madeleine Berkhemer, Tatjana Doll, Heiner Meyer, Sam Samore, Dasha Shishkin the main exhibition rooms are devoted to alternating exhibitions of works by talented young artists on the threshhold of international careers.
The gallery’s premiere exhibition "HOT" presented works by young artists from the academies of Berlin, Düsseldorf and Munich and met with encouragingly positive response.
In the following year the 2007 annual exhibition carried the title Masterclass of Beauty and Sensuality, in which these two themes were artistically discussed and treated by masterstudents from renowned professors of art, as for example, the late Jörg Imendorff.
The 2008 annual exhibition – Faces – is dedicated to the human countenance. This time our young artists have presented their individual interpretations of the “portrait of the soul”. (Cicero). Each work showing in the exhibition has been personally selected with much care and dedication, thus continuing the gallery’s philosophy.
