Australian Art Gallery in Berlin Michael Reid Berlin can be found in the central neighbourhood of Mitte and is a permanent hub for Australian art in Europe.

With an exhibition program that displays the best of Australian contemporary art, the gallery produces up to eight exhibitions a year, and participates in art fairs and projects across Germany, England, Scotland, Sweden and wider Europe. The gallery is an entry point for European collectors and the first port of call for Australian collectors visiting Berlin...

Die Galerie Michael Reid Berlin s

tellt zeitgenössische Australische Kunst aus. Im April 2013 öffnete, die im zentralen Berliner Stadtteil „Mitte“ gelegene Galerie ihre Türen. Neben zwei weiteren Galerien in Sydney und Murrurundi, Australien, fungiert der Berliner Standort als geographischer Bezugspunkt zwischen London und Moskau – um so an Australische Kunst interessierte Sammler und Kuratoren Europaweit zu erreichen. Hierbei ist Michael Reid Berlin als ein permanenter Dreh- und Angelpunkt für Australische Kunst in Europa zu sehen. Der Ausstellungsort in Berlin steht zudem in enger Verbindung zu einem größeren Zusammenschluss von Kunstgalerien, die eine kreative und vermittelnde Brücke zwischen Australischer und Europäischer Kunst schlagen. Eine qualitative Repräsentation sowie die Auseinandersetzung mit zeitgenössischer Kunst aus Australien sind die zentralen Anliegen der Galerie in Berlin, an deren Umsetzung die Kollegen auf beiden Seiten der Welt gemeinsam ausschalgebend mitwirken.

NOW OPEN: The Autumn Edit | Until 21 December | Michael Reid Berlin

This week at Michael Reid Berlin, we are delighted to welcome a freshly curated collection of spectacular new and historical works from a dynamic assembly of leading Australian contemporary artists.

Now on view in the gallery and available to explore online via the link in our bio, our autumn exhibition includes some of the final remaining editions of essential photographic works from four of the country’s most acclaimed and influential artists: Dr CHRISTIAN THOMPSON AO, NICI CUMPSTON OAM, TAMARA DEAN and GERWYN DAVIES.

We are thrilled to present these four artists’ arresting images and offer their final editions to Europe-based collectors as part of our seasonal survey show.

Threaded with reflections on the nexus of culture and nature, this suite of photographs is now playing out in a compelling conversation alongside handmade vessels by First Nations ceramicists working at Ernabella Arts – including Tjimpuna Willams, Fiona Wells, Lynette Lewis and Rupert Jack – as well as a sublime pair of carved spirit figures by Kunibidji and Kuninjku artist Joy Garlbin and the last remaining piece from Dr Cathy Franzi’s celebrated ceramics series On the Edge / am Rande.

All works from our autumn show can be viewed and acquired online or by appointment. For enquiries, please email [email protected]

While newly available work by leading Australian contemporary photographer TAMARA DEAN remains on view at Michael Reid Berlin with her continuing solo show, ‘Supernatural’, many of the artist's most enduring, seminal images have now gone on display with the opening of ‘Tamara Dean: The Early Years’ at our Murrurundi gallery.

Taken together, these two presentations on opposite hemispheres trace the thematic tendrils that thread through Dean’s celebrated body of work over the last 15 years.

“Tamara Dean’s photography deftly explores the undercurrents of the human condition,” write the editors of the artist’s beautifully produced monograph, published by Thames & Hudson in 2022.

“Her symbolically charged compositions of contemplative stillness and explosive action see humans intimately immersed in their surroundings: submerged in water, enmeshed in undergrowth, leaping from rock faces.”

These dreamlike entanglements of human and natural worlds are both visually captivating and tinged with urgency. “We have lost touch with the fact that we are animals,” writes Dean in the book’s introduction to her ‘In Our Nature’ series, from which many works in her Murrurundi retrospective derive.

“We are part of a living, breathing ecosystem that is much larger than ourselves – a system we have tipped completely off balance.”

New and historical works from Tamara Dean’s current Berlin show and her Murrurundi retrospective are available to view and acquire online or by contacting Michael Reid Berlin’s gallery manager: [email protected]

ON VIEW: TAMARA DEAN | ‘Supernatural’ | Until 1 September | Michael Reid Berlin

Continuing this week at Michael Reid Berlin, ‘Supernatural’ by TAMARA DEAN brings together the final remaining editions of some of the artist’s most acclaimed and indelible images alongside a spectacular pair of newly released works.

Titled ‘Supernatural’, this curated survey is Dean’s first solo presentation in Berlin and was specially conceived to coincide with her showing at the world-famous outdoor photography festival, Photo La Gacilly.

All photographs selected for Dean’s Berlin show are animated by the crosscurrents of what she describes as “immersion and release, letting go, freeing oneself”.

“In ‘Supernatural’, we see liberation from the constraints of everyday life,” says Dean, whose career-spanning monograph was published by Thames & Hudson in 2022. “A parallel universe where humans can take flight, move between worlds, and where objects defy the basic rules of gravity.”

Works from ‘Supernatural’ by Tamara Dean are available to explore and acquire online and will be on view at the gallery until Sunday, 1 September.

Please contact our Berlin gallery manager to request a catalogue and discuss works from the series, including the final editions of Dean’s works ‘Crossing Realms’ and ‘Passion’.

ON VIEW: TAMARA DEAN | ‘Supernatural’ | Until 1 September | Michael Reid Berlin

Showing this week at Michael Reid Berlin, ‘Supernatural’ is the first solo presentation ever staged in the German capital for leading Australian contemporary artist TAMARA DEAN.

This curated survey was specially conceived to coincide with Dean's installation at the world-famous French outdoor photography festival, Photo La Gacilly.

To mark this exciting career milestone and celebrate the expanded presence of Dean's work in Europe, we are thrilled to present two new releases as part of her show alongside the final remaining editions of some of her most acclaimed and indelible images – including ‘Crossing Realms’ (pictured, right).

All works selected for Dean's Berlin show are animated by the crosscurrents of what she describes as “immersion and release, letting go, freeing oneself”.

“We see liberation from the constraints of everyday life,” says the artist. “A parallel universe where humans can take flight, move between worlds, and where objects defy the basic rules of gravity.”

This gravity-defying dynamic is conjured with breathtaking lyricism in the two works shown here. Pictured left is ‘Sunken Forest’ – one of two works making their world debut as part of Dean's solo show – and right is the final edition of ‘Crossing Realms’, part of Dean's landmark 2022 series ‘Palace of Dreams’.

All works from ‘Supernatural’ are available to explore and acquire online. Collectors interested in acquiring one of the last editions of the historical works featured in ‘Supernatural’ – including ‘Crossing Realms’ – are encouraged to speak with our gallery manager, Coline Soria.

ON VIEW: TAMARA DEAN | ‘Supernatural’ | Until 1 September | Michael Reid Berlin

We are excited to welcome collectors, friends and visitors to the first solo exhibition ever staged in Berlin for leading Australian contemporary artist TAMARA DEAN.

Titled ‘Supernatural’, this curated survey has been specially conceived to coincide with Dean's showing at the world-famous outdoor photography festival, Photo La Gacilly.

To celebrate this milestone and the expanded presence of Dean's work in Europe, we are thrilled to present two previously unseen images – ‘Sunken Forest’ and ‘Tickled Pink’ – both making their world debuts as part of ‘Supernatural’ and now available to acquire online.

Together with some of the final editions of Dean’s most popular and acclaimed images, these new works have coalesced in a dazzling display that delights in the enmeshment of natural and human worlds – a dance between the elemental and corporeal that has extra resonance in our time of ecological crisis.

The sister image to the artist’s widely celebrated work ‘I wrap my face in her cloak of petals and breathe deeply’ – which immediately sold out upon its release – ‘Tickled Pink’ sees a figure propel themselves with wild abandon into a fecund profusion of magenta florals.

“We see liberation from the constraints of everyday life,” says Dean. “A parallel universe where humans can take flight and move between worlds, and objects defy the rules of gravity.”

This gravity-defying dynamic is present in Dean’s other new release, ‘Sunken Forest’, made possible by her custom-built underwater studio. Here, an Ophelia-like subject appears suspended between worlds. As they swim through a drowned forest ecosystem, the line between surface and submersion – waking life and reverie – becomes entangled by rippling coruscations and liquified refractions.

“We experience a momentary suspension of the rules that govern daily life, celebrating the magical existence of being alive,” says Dean.

All works can be explored and acquired online. For more, please contact [email protected]

NOW OPEN: TAMARA DEAN | ‘Supernatural’ | Until 1 September | Michael Reid Berlin

On view this week at Michael Reid Berlin, ‘Supernatural’ brings together a sublime suite of photographs by leading Australian contemporary artist TAMARA DEAN in her first-ever solo presentation in the German capital.

Specially conceived to coincide with her showing in the French outdoor photography festival at La Gacilly, Dean’s curated survey show includes the debut of two never-before-seen works – one of which is ‘Tickled Pink’ (pictured).

Delighting in a dreamlike enmeshment of human and natural worlds, works comprising ‘Supernatural’ are animated by the crosscurrents of what Dean describes as “immersion and release, letting go, freeing oneself” – themes that are fabulously evident in ‘Tickled Pink’.

The sister photograph to Dean’s widely celebrated 2020 work ‘I wrap my face in her cloak of petals and breathe deeply’ – which immediately sold out upon its release – this dazzling new image sees its subject propelling themselves with wild abandon into a fecund profusion of vibrant, magenta-toned florals.

“In ‘Supernatural’, we see liberation from the constraints of everyday life,” says Dean. “A parallel universe where humans can take flight, move between worlds, and where objects defy the basic rules of gravity.”

‘Tickled Pink’ is accompanied in the exhibition by another new release, ‘Sunken Forest’, as well as some of the final remaining editions of Dean's acclaimed works ‘Crossing Realms’ and ‘Passion’.

We look forward to welcoming visitors to ‘Supernatural’ by Tamara Dean. All works from the exhibition can be viewed and acquired on the Michael Reid Berlin website.

Michael Reid Berlin gallery manager Coline Soria has been visiting her native France this week, meeting with Paris-based clients, curators, art industry leaders and embassy teams to strengthen connections between our stable of artists and a wider audience of collectors and art institutions within our dynamic globe-spanning network.

As the manager of our Berlin exhibition space, Coline oversees our centre of European operations at an exciting moment as we expand the scope of our programming both within the German capital and beyond. Europe-based collectors who are interested in work by the leading Australian artists represented by Michael Reid Sydney + Berlin are invited to speak with Coline about acquisitions and private viewings.

Coline’s Paris sojourn also coincided with the opening of La Gacilly Photo Festival, the world-famous open-air exhibition where artists TAMARA DEAN, NARELLE AUTIO and TRENT PARKE have been invited to present their work.

Tamara Dean’s showing at La Gacilly arrives as we look forward to her first solo exhibition at Michael Reid Berlin, ‘Supernatural’, which opens at the gallery in just one week and will see the exciting release of the artist’s never-before-seen photographic work, ‘Sunken Forest’.

Today, we're pleased to share a glimpse of Coline's Paris photo diary. We look forward to sharing more news and updates from Michael Reid Berlin as the opening of ‘Supernatural’ by Tamara Dean approaches.

COMING SOON: TAMARA DEAN | ‘Supernatural’ | Michael Reid Berlin

Michael Reid Berlin is excited to announce our upcoming solo exhibition of spectacular photographs by leading Australian artist TAMARA DEAN.

Titled ‘Supernatural’, this expansive survey exhibition has been specially curated for our Berlin gallery space to coincide with Dean’s showing at the world-famous open-air La Gacilly Photo Festival, where leading photographic artists from across the globe will converge this month to present their work on a monumental scale against La Gacilly's charming countryside setting in northwest France.

Works selected for Dean’s Berlin show – including the sublime ‘Crossing Realms’ (pictured) from her landmark 2022 series ‘Palace of Dreams’ – are now on their way to the German capital and can be previewed and acquired prior to the opening.

‘Crossing Realms’ encapsulates many of the themes that thread through ‘Supernatural’. Made possible with the artist’s custom-built underwater photo studio, it presents an outstretched figure suspended in balletic repose as they hover between dreamlike, liquified worlds.

To enquire about available works from ‘Supernatural’, please email [email protected]

Dr CHRISTIAN THOMPSON AO | ‘Yangayila Nhandi – Motherland’ | Until 7 July | Michael Reid Sydney

We are excited to present a transfixing new suite of flower works by Bidjara artist Dr CHRISTIAN THOMPSON AO – now on view in our Eora/Sydney gallery and available for collectors outside Australasia to acquire from Michael Reid Berlin.

Titled ‘Yangayila Nhandi – Motherland’, this new release arrives at a major moment for the artist, immediately following his expansive solo show ‘House of Gold’ – which saw the dazzling debut of work newly commissioned by the 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art – and the news of his professorial appointment at RMIT University in Naarm/Melbourne.

Earlier this year, Thompson was one of eight leading international artists chosen by the Marina Abramović Institute for its Adelaide Festival Takeover, which saw the world premiere of his extraordinary performance ‘Wait in Gold’.

Thompson's performance practice is inextricably tied to his photography, for which he casts himself at the centre of floral profusions thick with symbolism and unspooling questions around Australian history, legal fictions, nationhood and intersectional identity.

Capturing the figure as it emerges or dissolves amid fecund arrangements, the artist conjures a stunning visual experience in which pictorial space is flattened, depth of field is pressed to the foreground, and the viewer is enveloped by a blooming abundance.

‘Yangayila Nhandi’ comprises a trio of newly completed works – all available to explore and acquire online – and represents a thrilling culmination of his globally acclaimed practice and another high point in what has already been a banner year.

ON VIEW: Ernabella Arts | Until 23 June | Michael Reid Berlin

Our exhibition of new work by leading First Nations ceramicists from Ernabella Arts continues online this week, featuring this vibrant trio of vessels by artists LANGALIKI LEWIS, JANELLE THOMPSON and VIVIAN THOMPSON.

Located in Pukatja Community – the first permanent settlement on the Aṉangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY Lands) – Ernabella traces its lineage to 1948 when a craft room was established for Aṉangu women to hand-spin sheep’s wool into floor rugs and wall weavings. This history makes Ernabella the oldest continuously running Indigenous art centre in Australia.

Having grown into a globally celebrated and culturally significant contemporary art centre, Ernabella is now home to a diverse collective of artists young and old, men and women.

Artists working at Ernabella are among the most exciting voices in contemporary Australian ceramics and their work is widely acclaimed and enthusiastically collected internationally.

Our online exhibition presents beautifully detailed and sculpturally formed vessels adorned with motifs tied to the unique ecology of the area surrounding Ernabella.

Entangling craft and cultural traditions with a boldly contemporary perspective, the artists featured in this show see clay as a conduit for the continued intergenerational transfer of cultural knowledge and stories. The interculturality embodied by their work is globally significant and unique to Ernabella.

All works from the show can be viewed and acquired online. For more, please contact [email protected]

ON VIEW: Ernabella Arts | Until 23 June | Michael Reid Berlin

This week at Michael Reid Berlin, we are thrilled to present an online exhibition of new ceramics by artists from ERNABELLA ARTS in Pukatja Community, the first permanent settlement on the Aṉangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY Lands).

Located at the eastern end of the Musgrave Ranges in the far northwest of South Australia, Ernabella traces its history to 1948, when a craft room was established for Aṉangu women to handspin sheep’s wool and loom it into floor rugs and wall weavings. This lineage makes Ernabella Arts the oldest continuously running Indigenous art centre in Australia.

Long after commencing their work as artists, senior women at Ernabella decided to leave behind the walka of the early days to depict their Tjukurpa (sacred stories of country and law). Having evolved from a craft room to a globally celebrated and culturally significant contemporary art centre, Ernabella is now home to a diverse collective of artists young and old, men and women.

Artists working at Ernabella are among the most exciting voices in contemporary Australian ceramics and their work is widely acclaimed and enthusiastically collected internationally. This online exhibition comprises beautifully detailed, sculptural vessels by Vivian Thompson, Langaliki Lewis, Marissa Thompson, Elizabeth Dunn, Janelle Thompson, Lynette Lewis, Sonia Lewis and Melissa Lewis.

Each artist adorns their pieces with motifs connected to the ecology of the area surrounding Ernabella. Entangling craft and cultural traditions with a boldly contemporary perspective, these artists see clay as a conduit for the continued intergenerational transfer of cultural knowledge and stories. The interculturality embodied by these objects is entirely unique to Ernabella.

THIS WEEK: Ernabella Arts | 24 May–23 June | Michael Reid Berlin

Michael Reid Berlin is thrilled to present an online exhibition of exquisite new ceramics by artists working at Ernabella Arts.

In 1948, a craft room was established in Pukatja Community, at the eastern end of the Musgrave Ranges in South Australia for the Anangu women to hand spin sheep’s wool and loom it into floor rugs and wall weavings. This storied history makes Ernabella Arts the oldest continuously running Indigenous Art Centre in Australia.

Now available to explore on the Michael Reid Berlin website, this curated survey of new offerings from Ernabella Arts includes beautifully detailed, sculpturally formed vessels by Vivian Thompson, Langaliki Lewis, Marissa Thompson, Elizabeth Dunn, Janelle Thompson, Lynette Lewis, Sonia Lewis and Melissa Lewis.

To enquire about works from this collection, please email our Berlin gallery manager at [email protected]

COMING SOON: BETTY CHIMNEY | Michael Reid Sydney + Berlin

This week at Michael Reid Berlin, we are delighted to present a very special preview of three new works by BETTY CHIMNEY, which are now available in anticipation of the senior Yankunytjatjara artist’s upcoming solo exhibition at our Eora/Sydney gallery.

Chimney is a long-time artist and director of Iwantja Arts, an Indigenous-owned and -governed art centre located in the rocky, desert country of Indulkana Community on the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands in the remote northwest of South Australia.

Chimney was born in Port Augusta and grew up in Coober Pedy before coming to live in Indulkana as a young girl. A dedicated painter, the artist’s work is inspired by her ancestral Yankunytjatjara country and a determination to maintain her strong connection to Country and culture.

In addition to her own painting practice, Chimney also works on large-scale collaborative paintings with her daughter, RAYLENE WALATINNA, continuing a tradition of older women passing on their important knowledge of Tjukurpa (Aṉangu cultural stories) and Ngura (Country) to younger women.

This newly unveiled trio of magnificent landscapes will form part of Chimney's next solo show, which will open at Michael Reid Sydney in September. Her last series of paintings was shown at the international art fair Sydney Contemporary in 2023, where it was acquired in its entirety before arriving at the venue.

We are now accepting expressions of interest ahead of Chimney’s exhibition, and collectors based outside Australia can preview and acquire the artist's work through our Berlin gallery.

To receive an early preview, register interest in future releases or discuss acquiring Chimney’s newly available work, please contact Michael Reid Berlin gallery manager Coline Soria: [email protected]

NOW OPEN: NARELLE AUTIO | ‘Into the Distance’

A dazzling odyssey through the photographic archive of one of Australia's most acclaimed and accomplished contemporary artists, ‘Into the Distance’ by NARELLE AUTIO is now showing at Michael Reid Sydney and online, where all works from the exhibition can be viewed and acquired.

Travelling from Australia's coast to its red centre, this collection of never-before-seen pictures is drawn from two bodies of work by Autio – ‘Outback’ and ‘Watercolours’ – both captured in the early 2000s while on a cross-country road trip with her partner, fellow photographer TRENT PARKE.

‘Into the Distance’ is anchored by ten large-format photographs that encapsulate this important chapter in Autio’s career and vividly express the contrasts between the continent’s vast interior and its coastal fringe.

While throwing into relief these disparate landscapes and the social scenes they enclose, Autio's vibrant exhibition also invites curious connections between the two worlds with a palette of blues and reds washing through each image.

This tonal intensity lets her work drift away from social documentary towards something more dreamlike and surreal, heightening the environment’s mythic aura, its elemental heat, and the feeling of being in places familiar yet strange.

At the show's centre, Autio's smaller-scale prints further sketch out the mood and mores of the time. An expansive, diaristic account of her road trip, this installation moves from alien desertscapes and outback rodeos to nostalgic beach scenes in which swimmers find ecstatic respite from the heat and surfers appear silhouetted against the summer sun.

Works from the exhibition can be viewed and acquired on our website. For more, please email [email protected]

Dr CHRISTIAN THOMPSON AO | ‘Being Human Human Being’ | Michael Reid Berlin

Michael Reid Berlin is thrilled to present to our international collectors the final remaining edition of Dr CHRISTIAN THOMPSON AO’s spectacular, immersive flower work ‘Being Human Human Being’ – the centrepiece of his landmark 2022 exhibition of the same name.

One of the country’s most acclaimed contemporary artists, Thompson’s earliest photographs alluded to the history of Indigenous Australians being denied citizenship. Adorned with delicate native blooms, they pointed to the absurdities of a colonial system that dehumanised Aboriginal people by grouping them with flora and fauna.

More recently, this political narrative has transcended into a spiritual one. As his floral profusions cascade in abundance, the self dissolves into nature and an entanglement of human and non-human is reclaimed and celebrated as a rebuke to the anthropocentric and hierarchical.

‘Being Human Human Being’ is a singular expression of this conceptual mode and utterly mesmerising with its surreal, atmospheric palette of neon lavender and white. Delving into questions of ownership, power and identity, it subverts the art-historical trope of the floral still life as a symbol for death to imagine a more expansive state of existence beyond linear time and at once transient and regenerative.

Thompson builds and inhabits his floral walls, capturing the figure emerging, dissolving and obscured by fecund arrangements. The result is a dazzling visual experience where pictorial space is flattened and depth of field pressed to the foreground, enveloping the viewer in a magnificent abundance of blooms.

Those interested in acquiring the final edition of this extraordinary work are encouraged to contact Michael Reid Berlin’s new gallery manager, Coline Soria.

COMING SOON: NARELLE AUTIO | ‘Into the Distance’

Opening in our Sydney gallery next month, ‘Into the Distance’ is an epic adventure through the archive of NARELLE AUTIO – one of Australia’s most accomplished and acclaimed contemporary photographers.

We are thrilled to invite internationally based collectors who are interested in discussing or acquiring works from the series to please contact our new Michael Reid Berlin gallery manager, Coline Soria.

Autio's vibrant new exhibition will present images drawn from two distinct bodies of work – ‘Outback’ and ‘Watercolours’ – both captured by the artist between 2003 and 2004 while on a road trip across Australia.

“I find the landscape of the outback stunningly beautiful, but I see a harshness I don’t feel or experience on the coast,” says Autio of the extremes thrown into relief by the meeting of her two series.

Shot on now-discontinued film, Autio's spectacular unseen pictures travel from the coast to the country’s red centre, with each frame saturated in vivid reds and blues. This intense palette creates unlikely connections between disparate settings and lets Autio’s lens veer beyond the realm of social documentary towards something more dreamlike and surreal.

Adding to this sense of the uncanny is the almost elemental masculinity pervading many of the Outback pictures – and it was this quality that most surprised Autio during her reimmersion in the world of the images two decades after their creation. “20 years ago, this was a masculine landscape where men seemed to dominate the space,” she says.

Encapsulating this important period in the artist’s career, Autio’s show will be anchored by ten large-format photographs accompanied by an installation of smaller prints.

Congratulations to PETRINA HICKS on her retrospective show ‘Mythologies’ at Rifugio Digitale in Florence, Italy.

Congratulations OWEN YALANDJA, winner of the Telstra Bark Painting Award at the 2023 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards (NATSIAA). A senior member of the Dangkorlo clan, the Kuninjku artist learned carving from his father, renowned artist Crusoe Kuningbal. His prize winning work, Ngalkodjek Yawkyawk, represents an old story the artist’s father told about the yawkyawk (mermaid) spirit women called Ngalkodjek who live in the billabong on the artist’s Country. Ngalkodjek Yawkyawk can be seen alongside all of the shortlisted works in the 2023 Telstra NATSIAA exhibition, which is now on view at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory and via the virtual exhibition.
