From Switzerland to Cologne and back again: Art manager Angela Reitz founded her first gallery in May 1984 in Riehen near Basel, near the Beyeler Museum. At the same time, it was always represented in Cologne - in March 2015, it moved into its spacious exhibition space in the Rheinauhafen.
She has been back in Switzerland since summer 2021. In the heart of Zurich's old town, at St. Peterhofstatt 10, she opened her latest gallery. The high, light-flooded rooms in the historic building are ideal for the presentation of contemporary art. Angela Reitz looks after a pool of international artists - her works cover the areas of photo art, sculpture, painting, and installation. It focuses on artists who work with striking techniques as well as unusual materials.
Galerie Reitz regularly takes part in international art fairs, and several individual and group exhibitions are held each year.
Angela Reitz has been on the international art scene for many years. She has always been interested in art - yet she first studied French in Lausanne, English in Cambridge, business administration in Cologne, and was on the board of "Kunst und Diakonie" in Wehr, Germany. In 1984, the art manager opened her first gallery in Riehen near Basel. She works with established artists - continuously searching for new trends as well as promising newcomers. Her galleries in Zurich and Cologne present a mix of styles that reflects the range of contemporary art.
