Martin M. Leyer-Pritzkow

Martin Leyer-Pritzkow is an independent curator for contemporary art in Düsseldorf. He runs the oldest exhibition space or “offroom” in Düsseldorf and probably even in Germany.

Martin Leyer-Pritzkow has been exhibiting young and emerging artists for more than 24 years in his private rooms, among others. That is, in the rooms in which he lives. He thusinvites you to his home. So the guests of his exhibitions experience young and often museum art in a very private and relaxed atmosphere.

Outside of the invitations for selected guests, his exhibitions can only be seen by prior arrangement. He neither runs a gallery nor a museum. So something in between and therefore called “Offroom”.

He also enables individual art studio visits to his artists.

Art can of course be bought from him and can also be purchased online via Facebook or Instagram online.
