OVERVIEW :
Philipp von Rosen Fine Art, a newly founded sister gallery of Philipp von Rosen Galerie, has been trading prints, editions and originals by artists who were predominantly active in the late 20th century since the spring of 2021. The current focus lies on Joseph Beuys, Sigmar Polke and Dieter Roth. But we are not limited to this group, we are also interested in buying works from other artists of the period or taking them on commission, publishing them here on our site and marketing them. In addition to online activities, we will show and offer the works in pop-up exhibitions and also at art fairs.
The basis for the new business was the acquisition of a significant part of the holdings of Galerie Heinz Holtmann, Cologne in 2021. Heinz Holtmann had successfully operated his gallery for over forty years by then, during which time he had purchased for himself numerous works of art by the artists he has been closest to. At the end of 2020 he gave up his exhibition rooms in the Rheinauhafen of Cologne, and has entrusted us to continue his work and develop it further.

ABOUT ARTISTS : Ignacio Uriarte
Ignacio Uriarte (*1972 in Krefeld, lives in Valencia) studied business administration before he became an artist and he also worked in this field. Apart from a brief period of audiovisual art studies in Guadalajara, Mexico (1999-2001), he has dealt with art mainly in the phases that Joseph Beuys did not know: “I know no weekend.” At a certain moment, however, Uriarte had become bored enough at the desks where he sat as a business administrator. And he got to thinking, comparable to Jennie, the famous dog in Maurice Sendak’s book Higglety Pigglety Pop! or There Must Be More to Life, that there must be indeed more to life than, for example, the certainty as an employee and mundane possessions, and that he therefore wanted to take a different path: that of art. Accordingly, in 2003 he changed course and became a professional artist, whose work deals with the world of offices and the materials used and processed in them in every conceivable medium. These works discuss issues of time, structure, order, and monotony as well as the creative potential in seemingly inefficient processes, such as scribbling on a notepad during a conversation. Through his conceptual approach as well as the use of materials from everyday office life, the artist builds a Dada-like bridge between the world of work and the world of art. Uriarte has been able to show his work in a wide variety of institutional solo and group exhibitions worldwide; Institutional collections that have works by him include –
