Zubek Gallery is specialized in Sub-Saharan African Arts and Southeast Asian Arts.
Biography
After a decade of collecting traditional art from sub-Saharan Africa, artist Petr Zubek opened his gallery in Düsseldorf in March 2019.
Combining his artistic expertise and education with guidance from seasoned colleagues and tribal art experts, he adeptly curates and presents carefully selected, high-quality artworks in his gallery.
In the mid-1990s, as Petr Zubek completed his art studies in Düsseldorf and Cologne, his fascination with the traditional art and culture of Sub-Saharan Africa ignited. His journey into collecting began after his inaugural trip to Cameroon in 2009, and after a decade of passionate accumulation, he inaugurated his gallery in Düsseldorf in March 2019. Since 2022, Petr Zubek has been a regular participant in prestigious art fairs such as "Paris Tribal", "Civilisations" in Brussels, and "TAF Amsterdam." Alongside African art, his collection has expanded to encompass works from Southeast Asia and contemporary art as well..
