mission statement


The galerie gugging is one of the most important international venues for the presentation and of art brut. For 30 years now, the gallery has been exhibiting works by the Gugging Artists and, since 2009, also works by their international colleagues with the aim of making their work more visible and promoting previously unknown artists. What many people don’t know is that the Gugging Artists are the owners of the gallery, which is financed by the sale of their artworks and sponsors. The galerie gugging team works with joy, appreciation & know-how to strengthen its national and international appeal and to accompany art lovers & collectors as partners in their passion.

team spirit


The galerie gugging is a role model of how collaboration can work. Our cooperation partners are not only museums and galleries, but above all the artists themselves, who can also be found time and again in the gallery premises around the atelier gugging. Our team welcomes you with pleasure and is looking forward to being at your side with consultation.

surrounding, location


The galerie gugging is part of the Art Brut Center Gugging, embedded in the atelier gugging, the House of Artists, the museum gugging and The Private Foundation – Artists from Gugging. The proximity of the place of origin of the works by the Gugging Artists and their presentation is unique in the world. In the wonderful environment in the middle of the Vienna Woods artistic work is carried out on a daily basis.

The galerie gugging – a hotspot of the art brut scene – has always been a place of encounter and artists such as David Bowie, Loys Egg, Constantin Luser, Peter Pongratz, Arnulf Rainer, Johann Rausch, Gerhard Roth, Daniel Spoerri as well as Christopher Kane have been inspired by the Gugging Artists. Whether at the Museum of Modern Art New York (MoMA), in Paris, Vienna, Berlin or Tokyo, the Gugging Artists are now represented in museum and private collections.
