Kicken Berlin — gallery cover

Curatorial Ethos

The gallery’s mission is to invite photography into productive dialogue with other artistic media and convey its importance to an international audience. Its programme emphasizes the discovery of new or previously overlooked work, focusing on German and Czech avant-garde, subjective photography, and conceptual practices alongside established masters.

Kicken Berlin is a commercial gallery located at Kaiserdamm 118 in Berlin, Germany, founded in 1974 by Rudolf Kicken. The institution is dedicated to the innovative presentation and promotion of photography as an art form, maintaining a diverse program that spans from 19th-century pioneers to contemporary positions. It manages significant estates including those of Erwin Blumenfeld, Ed van der Elsken, and Umbo, while also presenting major historical figures like Helmut Newton and Sigmar Polke.
