CFA - Contemporary Fine Arts

Gallery for Contemporary Art CONTEMPORARY FINE ARTS has been in existence since 1992 and is managed by Bruno Brunnet and Nicole Hackert.

Formerly located in Berlin-Charlottenburg, the gallery was then situated from 1996 in Sophie-Gips-Höfe, Berlin-Mitte. From November 2007 through May 2017 the gallery was located in the iconic Chipperfield building directly across from Museum Island in Berlin-Mitte. At the end of 2016 CFA returned to Charlottenburg, opening a new space on Grolmanstraße. The gallery’s program concentrates on interna

tional contemporary art in a broad spectrum of media. Painting is prominently represented by the painters GEORG BASELITZ (D), CECILY BROWN (USA), PETER DOIG (GB), MARCEL EICHNER (D), ROBERT LUCANDER (D/FIN), CHRIS OFILI (GB), TAL R (DK), DANIEL RICHTER (D), DANA SCHUTZ (USA) and NORBERT SCHWONTKOWSKI (D). The oeuvre of MARC BRANDENBURG (D) and RAYMOND PETTIBON (USA) is almost exclusively restricted to drawings. MAX FRISINGER’s (D), THOMAS KIESEWETTER’s (D), KATJA STRUNZ’s (D) main field is sculpture.

Julien Heintz’ “Nouveaux Tableaux” – the Artist’s first solo-exhibition in Germany – is on view for one more week, until June 6th in our Berlin Gallery.

“A spectral quality runs through Nouveaux Tableaux, though not in any gothic or uncanny way. It belongs to remembrance. Heintz approaches the past in order to ask what lingers, and how neglected stories bear on the world today. The exhibition invites immersion in that unstable territory where individual destinies meet larger forces. Nothing here is reduced to innocence or guilt alone. Each subject holds its own burden. Together, they open onto a broader register, letting viewers move between singular lives and a shared condition.”

We also congratulate Julien Heintz on being announced as one of the finalists for this year’s Prix Jean-François Prat.

“Keep on Truckin [I-III]” are part of our current exhibition at Contemporary Fine Arts Berlin with Travis MacDonald.

“Had A Farm” introduces a world with its own logic. MacDonald has developed this language over time, using it as a vehicle for storytelling and observation. Here, it grows sharper and more decisive. The show invites viewers into a charged social space where identification remains open and belonging stays provisional. It is a place of attraction and unease. The pull of a group is palpable, as is the strain that shadows any departure from the norm. These paintings do not offer escape. They ask how closeness can hold under pressure, and whether something larger than the self might still be forged.

Travis MacDonald “Had A Farm” remains on view in Berlin until June 6th.

Contemporary Fine Arts Basel is pleased to present Maja Ruznic’ “Who Tastes Fire and Cannot Speak” open from June 14th with an opening reception on June 15th from 6-9 PM, and coinciding with Art Basel 2026.

In her second solo exhibition with CFA, Maja Ruznic presents a new body of work that continues her exploration of memory, spirituality and transformation.

“The title comes from Louise Glück’s poem Day Without Night. Ruznic was drawn to the poem’s inversion of hell. Instead of darkness and flame, Glück depicts a world held in relentless light, where exposure turns into torment. For the artist, this reversal opened a way to think about the need for shadow. In these works, peace does not belong to clarity alone. It is found in obscurity, in moonlit zones where thought is not yet verbal and feeling has not hardened into certainty.”

Anna Tuori “Crimson & Clover” is currently on view until June 6th in our Basel Gallery.

“A dialogue with the history of painting runs through the exhibition. Tuori is attentive to still life, especially the memento mori, yet she does not construct direct vanitas quotations. Her relation to tradition is broader and more organic. It emerges through weight, atmosphere, and the emotional temperature of each scene. Her paintings ask how mortality inhabits ordinary life, and how one lives with that knowledge amid comfort. There is an existential undertow here, but also empathy. The works retain tenderness even when they address harsh subjects.

Animals such as cows, deer, and cats recur in these paintings. They stand in for the human body, though in a depersonalized way. Through them, vulnerability becomes easier to share. This leaves space for projection without directing us toward a fixed identity. The animals appear lifeless, suspended upside down. Their carcasses hang with full mass, making gravity visible. This arrangement recalls classical still life while intensifying the emotional charge.”

Travis MacDonald “Had A Farm” is now on view on our Bel Etage.

Visit us Tuesday–Friday from 10:00–18:00, and now with updated Saturday hours from 12:00–18:00.

“[The paintings in “Had A Farm”] draw on Pier Paolo Pasolini’s 1973 essay Il discorso dei capelli, published in English as The Hippies’ Speech. MacDonald responds to Pasolini’s understanding of appearance as a political sign and to the responsibility of paying attention to one’s surroundings. The reference feels timely. Without making the works direct statements, he suggests a quiet parallel between past expressions of nonconformity and the current rise of authoritarian thinking. Care, in this context, is not softness. It is an ethic of alertness.”

Congratulations to Dana Schutz on the unveiling of “Blind Boat” at Kistefos Museum and Sculpture Park!

“Blind Boat” is the 57th permanent work in the Kistefos sculpture park.

Cast in bronze, the sculpture stands 7 metres tall, stretches 9 metres in length, and weighs more than 12 tonnes. The work depicts a boat carrying three figures surrounded by symbolic elements including a stylised sun, hollowed-out eyeballs, and a carrion bird. One figure is blind, while the others are one-eyed, recalling the Cyclopes of Greek mythology. At the centre, a figure raises an eyeball like a guiding light — evoking themes of vision, uncertainty, and the search for direction.

Known for her expressive paintings and sculptures, Schutz creates works that are both absurd and unsettling, often using satire and allegory to reflect on the anxieties and contradictions of contemporary life. In “Blind Boat”, themes of power, vulnerability, and collective uncertainty emerge through a composition that feels both turbulent and alive.

Installed beside the river and waterfall at Kistefos, the sculpture enters into dialogue with the surrounding landscape. The movement and sound of the water heighten the work’s sense of instability, motion, and emotional intensity.

“Blind Boat” is now on view at Kistefos.

Contemporary Fine Arts is pleased to present the first solo-exhibition of Frech painter Julien Heintz in Germany. Open until the 6th of June in our ground floor gallery.

“Heintz uses photographs and documentary stills tied to episodes that marked Western culture, especially war and its aftermath. Yet he does not paint acts of cruelty directly. He turns instead to charged pauses and faces caught between events, attentive to the quiet weight that follows violence. What matters is not reconstruction for its own sake, but the possibility of handling trauma with care and restraint.”
