Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers, the gallerists at the core of Monika Sprüth Philomene Magers, have, for many decades, brought international artists to their German galleries. Not only have they introduced many American artists to the German scene—names including John Baldessari, Dan Flavin and Richard Artschwager—they have nurtured the careers of a younger generation—Peter Fischli & David Weiss, Andreas Gursky, Karen Kilimnik, Thomas Scheibitz and Rosemarie Trockel—who rose to fame in the ’80s.

While they are traditional in their gallery work, and generally safe with their artist selections, when Monika Sprüth Philomene Magers introduces a young artist, look out.
