Galerie Max Hetzler is delighted to announce the opening of a new space in London this September. Located at 41 Dover Street, the space is on the first floor and benefits from high ceilings and much natural light across the two adjoining rooms facing the street.

Since beginning in Stuttgart in 1974, Galerie Max Hetzler has exhibited established and emerging contemporary art and its programme has continued to evolve with the artists it has been showing since the 1980s, including Albert Oehlen, Thomas Struth and Christopher Wool. Reflecting the gallery's long history, the London space will complement the two existing venues in Berlin and the Paris gallery, with a focus on curated historical exhibitions.

Coinciding with its presentation at Frieze, Galerie Max Hetzler London will exhibit highlights from the group show True Stories. A Show Related to an Era – The Eighties curated by Peter Pakesch. A two-part exhibition which opened at the Berlin gallery on 14 September 2018, the London highlights on view from 29 September will include key works by Robert Gober, Mike Kelley, Martin Kippenberger, Cady Noland, Albert Oehlen and Thomas Struth.

True Stories includes an esteemed roster of artists, many of whom have been involved with Galerie Max Hetzler since its origin, including Albert Oehlen who had his first solo exhibition at the gallery in 1981 and 25 solo shows since, as well as Martin Kippenberger who had 11 life-time exhibitions at the gallery and Günther Förg who first exhibited with Max Hetzler in 1984 and whose work has been the subject of 20 solo shows to date. True Stories will also present noted artists such as Richard Prince and Julian Schnabel, who recently began to exhibit with the gallery.

Featuring important works from the 1980s, the exhibition links the American centres of Los Angeles in the West and New York in the East, with Cologne and Vienna - the two European hotspots of the time; four cities of intellectual importance which experienced a growing exchange during that period.

The London programme will commence in the extended space with a solo exhibition of early paintings by André Butzer in November 2018.
