Since 50 years LEVY Galerie operates in the international art scene earning a first rate reputation amongst European galleries throughout the past decades having maintained dependancies in Paris, France (3 years), Madrid, Spain (15 years) and Berlin, Germany (3 years). The gallery was founded in 1970 by Thomas Levy (*1947) in Hamburg, Germany pursuing a multifaceted program based on the pillars of Surrealism, Nouveau Réalisme and Pop Art. Starting with exhibition management, followed by communication of art and art consulting up to profound artists’ assistance we realize conceptual-based and media-spanning shows accompanied by varying exhibition catalogues.
LEVY Galerie is the exclusive representative, as primary gallery, of artists as Eduardo Arroyo, Werner Berges, Johannes Hüppi, Allen Jones, Richard Lindner, Marc Lüders, Daniel Mohr, Max Neumann, C.O. Paeffgen, Mel Ramos, Daniel Spoerri, Ernesto Tatafiore and Wainer Vaccari. It also represents the estates of Meret Oppenheim as well as of Friedrich Einhoff, in close coordination with the artists families. The artists take part in institutional solo and group shows worldwide, are represented in public as well as private collections and have received i.a. major grants and public commissions.

From here, we successfully vend artworks to various private and public collections, i.a. the Centre Pompidou, Paris, France; Kunsthalle Bremen, Germany; Kunsthalle Hamburg, Germany; Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg (MKGH), Germany; Museum of Contemporary Art Krakow (MOCAK), Poland; Museum Ludwig, Cologne, Germany; Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York, NY, USA; Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid, Spain; Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich, Germany; Städel Museum, Frankfurt on the Main, Germany.
