Munich's Lohaus Sominsky Expands to Tribeca As Neighborhood Galleries Rebalance

"Lohaus Sominsky, the Munich-based gallery founded by Ingrid Lohaus and Sofia Sominsky, will open its first New York space next month at 62 White Street in Tribeca. The debut exhibition, featuring new paintings and a site-specific installation by Berlin-based artist Charlie Stein, will open December 11-just days after the gallery participates in Art Basel Miami Beach for the first time."

"When asked why the founders chose to open in the art world's de-facto capital, Sominsky answer was almost poetic. "There are so many changes, so many fractures, in the society and in the art world, we feel like New York is exactly the right place to build something new and to grow," she said, adding that "it's only in the places where these fractures are visible, that something new can grow.""

"For Lohaus that growth and international expansion is central to the gallery's mission. As a young Munich gallery, she said, "it's important...to develop internationally," connecting artists from South America, Europe, and the U.S. across both locations. The gallery's inaugural New York show with Stein-whose work explores embodiment, identity, and the blurred line between technological and human presence-signals its intention to function as a cultural bridge between Munich and New York. Meanwhile, its Munich programming will continue, with plans to present more New York-based artists abroad."

Lohaus Sominsky will open its first New York space at 62 White Street in Tribeca next month, with the debut exhibition opening December 11. The show will feature new paintings and a site-specific installation by Berlin-based artist Charlie Stein and follows the gallery's first participation in Art Basel Miami Beach. The gallery established its Munich headquarters three years ago and has mounted more than 18 exhibitions, including artists such as Vera Molnár and Phoebe Derlee. The current Munich exhibition, "Alive", spotlights New York-based painter Phoebe Derlee. The expansion aims to connect artists across South America, Europe, and the U.S., maintain Munich programming, and function as a cultural bridge between Munich and New York.
