Since 1989 Galerie Peter Herrmann has been a specialist in |

Contemporary Art by international artists with the underlying theme: Africa. Authentic Tribal and Royal Art of West and Central Africa.
Our carefully organized exhibitions are well attended by visitors of all cultural, ethnic and social backgrounds. The artists, too have been thoughtfully selected with an emphasis on differing yet complementary approaches.
|
 |
Our presentation of African subjects is executed with art historical precision, which has earned the gallery worldwide recognition as being one of the few galleries to consistently and accurately present Africa over the course of an extended artistic timeline.
In addition to the sale of high value artwork, we also lend objects for both photography and film shoots. We organize and curate exhibitions for galleries, corporations as well as museums. We provide Certificates of Authenticity, TL reports, Expert judgments and appraisals for customs and insurance purposes. Peter Herrmann, as African art expert, also serves as consultant to relevant political and economic matters.
The Gallery's website was developed in 1995, establishing it as the first German gallery to have an internet presence. We continue to make advances in the realm of computer technology (both internally and consulting for outside arts organisations) and with a consistent online presence strive to improve upon conventional methods for the Gallery's operations. The most important areas in which this new medium caused significant workflow changes is in the areas of exhibition development, storage, artist placement, as well as improved client communication.
Currently, this domain consists of 3,000 pages with detailed text and illustrations. These encompass a total of approximately 50 catalogues, the contents of which are available to you free of charge. We have a very high hit rate by cultural institutions that utilize both text and biographical information, a loyal group of collectors that values the illustrated artists' pages, as well as a stream of international visitors that found their way to us through university links, African websites and search engines. Our website receives between 20,000 and 55,000 visitors per month.
The navigation of our webpages is simplified through the Menu Bar which appears at the top of every page.
Following is a description of our seven Menu options:
Home - Brings you back to the main page and is convenient for bookmarking.
Email - This is the place to click if you would like to be included in our mailings, want to send us your comments, questions or critiques, or to place an order.
Around and Around - Our largest exhibition gave this section its name. This is where you'll find comprehensively documented exhibitions with images, descriptions and cross-references.
Traditionelle afrikanische Kunst (Traditional African Art) - This section, divided by region, shows a portion of the Peter Herrmann collection. Explanatory texts (some already in English) are provided for those objects, which are art historically significant and/or controversial.
Aktuell (Current) - On average, this page has the highest viewing rate. It's where you'll find current information about our own as well as outside exhibitions, in addition to activities of the artists represented by the Gallery. Parts of this page are already in English and we plan for this area to be completely bilingual in the near future. It's also where a column appears from time to time, attention is drawn to new webpages, and activity that goes on behind the scenes is brought to the fore. It's where we critique, commend and on occasion complain.
Information - The page where you currently are. Essential facts and information can be found here.
Archiv (Archive) - Alphabetical listing of artists represented by the Gallery as well as artists joining individual exhibitions. The majority of the Represented Artists are presented in detail, each on individual pages - an invaluble resource for both collectors and exhibit organizers.
Tip - Due to the extensive network of pages, there is a possibility that linked pages will open in new windows. If several windows have opened, we recommend closing the already viewed pages.
The images and texts may be copied for private use, but please note that the copyright attribution for multiple reproductions belongs to Peter Herrmann. For questions pertaining to publishing rights, please consult us directly. |
