Sies + Höke has opened its doors as a contemporary art gallery in December 1999 and has been home to exhibitions across a variety of media and genres since. The gallery shows the work of established and emerging artists from Europe, the USA and Latin America and also maintains a publishing programme to produce exhibition catalogues, monographs, and artist’s books.-Since 1974 Kicken Berlin has specialized in 19th and 20th century and contemporary photography. Since its foundation the gallery has explored the relationship between photography and the other arts in over 220 exhibitions. Today the gallery is still guided by the mission of its founder, Rudolf Kicken (1947-2014): to convey to an international audience the importance of photography as an art form and, above all, as a visual adventure.
