Capitain Petzel

Capitain Petzel, a 1,300 square meter glass-encased modernist building from the Socialist Era, is located on Karl-Marx-Allee in Berlin-Mitte, one of the city's historical sites. The former GDR's 'Kunst im Heim' gallery, erected in 1964 by architects Kaiser and Franek to house a display of fine and applied arts from the Eastern Block countries, is a notable example of East German Modernism.

Since 2008, more than 25 artists from the galleries of Gisela Capitain and Friedrich Petzel, including Karla Black, Wade Guyton, Sarah Morris, Seth Price, Monika Sosnowska, John Stezaker, Charline von Heyl, and Christopher Williams, have realized ambitious solo exhibitions developed on-site in the exceptional space.

Capitain Petzel continues to present exhibitions of internationally renowned artists, including Andrea Bowers, Natalie Czech, Robert Longo, Peter Piller, and Amy Sillman, who is also represented by galleries in Cologne and New York. He has also established an independent program in Berlin with artists such as Andrea Bowers, Natalie Czech, Robert Longo, Peter Piller, and Amy Sillman. All of the gallery artists have a variety of books and catalogues available.
