Galerie Meyer Riegger announces the opening of a new gallery in Seoul, South Korea, in collaboration with Galerie Jocelyn Wolff. The launch is scheduled for September 2025. This collaboration adds another location to Galerie Meyer Riegger’s portfolio, which already includes Berlin, Karlsruhe and Basel, Switzerland. Galerie Jocelyn Wolff is headquartered in Romainville near Paris.

Starting in 2025, the two galleries will join forces to create Meyer Riegger Wolff, a new gallery based in Seoul, South Korea, to continue exploring the region. This new space, led by Director and Partner Gaia Musi, marks a natural extension of the galleries’ growing presence in Asia, driven by a shared long-term vision for the Korean market. It aims to develop artists’ careers in Korea while fostering a dialogue between global and local art practices through experimental exhibitions that blend both galleries’ programmes.
Over the course of 2025 and 2026, Meyer Riegger Wolff will present a diverse array of artists from the programmes of both Meyer Riegger and Galerie Jocelyn Wolff, alongside emerging talents and historical figures. The programme will include exhibitions by Clemens von Wedemeyer, Alma Feldhandler, Eugène Leroy, Marcel Duchamp, Isa Melsheimer and others.
The inaugural exhibition at Meyer Riegger Wolff, Heute Nacht geträumt (Dreamed Last Night), running from 2 September to 7 November 2025, will offer a unique exploration of drawing across four centuries, blending historical and contemporary practices. Curated as a thematic journey, the exhibition is inspired by the 18th-century French salon tradition, particularly the work of the “Tapissier”, the artist responsible for curating the Salon’s floor-to-ceiling displays.
This innovative project reimagines the classic conventions of contemporary art presentation, moving beyond minimalist and white cube formats to create a more immersive, historical dialogue. Featuring a diverse array of artists, such as Miriam Cahn, Eugène Carrière, Meret Oppenheim and Jonathan Monk, the show is structured around two key axes: trans-historical drawing and thematic explorations inspired by the salons of Saint-Aubin, covering topics like “landscape”, “still life”, “head”, “hand” and “urban landscape”, among others.
By combining historical influences with contemporary drawing practices, the exhibition offers a fresh take on art presentation and fosters meaningful connections between European traditions and the evolving Asian art scene.
