Press Release

Under the influence of Socialist Realism, an East German Art Academy preserved disappearing traditions of figurative painting. Today, the painters of Leipzig have inherited these traditions and become an art-world sensation. Greetings from LE, hosted by JARILAGER Gallery, celebrates thirty years of artistic endeavours of the ‘New Leipzig School.’ Presenting a rich, generation-spanning selection of works from the roster of Galerie Kleindienst, long at the heart of Leipzig’s artistic narrative under the guidance of Matthias Kleindienst, this exhibition brings the Leipzig phenomenon front and centre to the Cologne art scene.
