Kunst im Forum an der Museumsinsel
The Forum on Museum Island, located between the traditional Bode Museum and the creative gallery district around Auguststrasse and Linienstrasse, is increasingly establishing itself as a new art location – not least due to the presence of KÖNIG GALERIE, which is making a striking statement here.
The KÖNIG GALERIE has developed into a dynamic platform for contemporary art in Berlin and beyond. Founded in 2002 by Johann König as “Johann König, Berlin,” the gallery specializes in presenting the works of emerging and established international artists, with a particular focus on younger generations. The program is characterized by interdisciplinary, conceptual approaches and encompasses a broad spectrum of artistic media, from sculpture and painting to video and installation, printmaking, photography, and performance.

CHRISTOPHER LEHMPFUHL
NEUE WERKE VON DER MUSEUMSINSEL
January 23 – March 7, 2026
KÖNIG TELEGRAPHENAMT is pleased to present a solo exhibition by the renowned artist Christopher Lehmpfuhl.
The exhibition features new works by Christopher Lehmpfuhl, created on location on Berlin’s Museum Island in 2024 and 2025. The artist works exclusively en plein air, foregoing brushes in his large-format oil paintings to create relief-like, almost sculptural surfaces with his hands. These oil paintings are complemented by distinctive watercolors that capture light and atmosphere in a concentrated form.
Following Lehmpfuhl’s long-standing exploration of Berlin’s transformations, he presents an intense, physical engagement with the city’s architecture, time, and atmosphere.
Opening Hours: Thursday – Saturday, 11 AM – 6 PM
