Biography

The company was founded in Cologne in 2002 by Dierk Dierking as an art dealer's gallery specializing in non-European art.

The juxtaposition and combination of art from Africa, Oceania and Asia with Classical Modern and post-war works has been an important element in our business ever since.

In 2013, the gallery relocated to Switzerland, taking over the Galerie am Paradeplatz (founded in 1988) in Zurich. Since then, our activities have also focused on dealing in post-war art as well as on classic gallery work with selected contemporary artists.

For over a quarter of a century Hong Kong- and Bangkok-based Michael Woerner has been specialized in high-quality works of art from South, Southeast and East Asia – both Classic and Tribal His profound knowledge and hands-on experience, in particular of the early cultures of Southeast Asia, has helped to build major collections worldwide, both public and private.

Michael Woerner is a regular and long-time participant of major art fairs in New York, Brussels, Paris and Cologne. His well-researched catalogues received critical acclaim from scholars, collectors and colleagues alike. An extensive network, in particular in the U.S., in Europe and in Japan supports his vision to continuously offer rare and unusual works of art. Due diligence is taken seriously: all objects are well-documented and important objects are furnished with a certificate of the ART LOSS REGISTER, London.
