context_page_description: Galerie Buchholz is an art gallery specializing in international contemporary art with exhibition spaces in Cologne, Berlin and New York City. The gallery was founded in Cologne in 1986 by Daniel Buchholz, and today is run jointly with Christopher Müller.
context_section_description: The gallery’s exhibition spaces are located in Cologne at Neven-DuMont-Strasse 17 and on Elisenstrasse 4-6, in Berlin at Fasanenstrasse 30, as well as in New York at 17 East 82nd Street. Since its founding the gallery has had various locations in Cologne. Its first location was at Bismark Strasse 50, in a former storage facility of the Cologne gallerist Rudolf Zwirner. In 1988, the gallery opened at Venloer Strasse 21. In 1990, Buchholz & Schipper opened at Albertusstrasse 26, a shop run in collaboration with fellow gallerist Esther Schipper specializing in multiples. In 1992, Buchholz & Buchholz opened on Breite Strasse 36, an exhibition space in the second antiquarian bookshop run by Daniel Buchholz’s father. Since 1994, Galerie Daniel Buchholz has been located at Neven-DuMont-Strasse 17, in the primary location of the antiquarian bookstore that his father founded. Daniel Buchholz converted the former storage spaces of the bookstore into exhibition spaces, and, since his father’s death in 1993, has continued to run Antiquariat Buchholz parallel to the gallery. This address remains the headquarters for the gallery today.
  The art historian Christopher Müller began organizing film programs and co-curating exhibitions in the gallery in 1996. Since 2000 he has been a partner in the gallery. In 2006 the gallery opened a second exhibition space in Cologne on the nearby Elisenstrasse. In 2008, the gallery established a location at Fasanenstrasse 30 in the Charlottenburg neighborhood of Berlin. In 2015, Galerie Buchholz opened an exhibition space in New York City, at 17 East 82nd Street on the Upper East Side, Manhattan.
