Dr. Ute Eggeling and Michael Beck first established their gallery in Leipzig in 1994 and at the same time opened a branch in New York City. Fours years later, in 1998, the gallery moved to Düsseldorf, a traditional centre for the Arts since the 1960s, re-establishing themselves in a new area. 

For more than 20 years now Beck & Eggeling has been featuring a sophisticated and ambitious art programme, with an emphasis on German Expressionism, Post-war art, especially the ZERO-period, as well as different movements of international contemporary art.

An important impulse is to act as an agent to convey art visibly to the public, to interpret art and to use it in order to shape the social discourse of our time.
