Isabella Bortolozzi opened her gallery in 2004 with a program not aligned with many other Berlin galleries. The gallery primarily represents emerging and young international artists; untypically, not one of them is German and no painters are to be found.

In a time when the city’s galleries seem to be catering to those looking for living room wall hangings, Isabella Bortolozzi doesn’t hand her visitor a congenial solution, rather she seeks to present the work exhibited as a series of questions. While some of the pieces may be puzzling to passerbyers, stop by to be challenged by art—isn’t that its power that seems ever-fading?
