Galerie Konrad Fischer

The Galerie Konrad Fischer is a German contemporary art gallery. It was founded in 1967 by Dorothee and Konrad Fischer in Düsseldorf, in a disused alley in the center of the city.[1][2] Its first exhibition presented the work of Carl Andre to European audiences.[2][3] The gallery has focussed on minimal art, conceptual art and arte povera since its founding.[4][5][6]
