AN ART COLLECTION THAT INSPIRES
ART NEEDS SPACE
This space is not an end in itself, rather it is the basis for communication with interested viewers. Only then can art succeed in touching people, bringing them together and triggering new thoughts and impulses when engaging with an art work.
The private collectors Volker M. Kroll and Ralf-D Müller were guided by this intention. With the KM_16 and the KM_159, created art spaces at two locations in Düsseldorf for their contemporary collection, which they have put together over the past 25 years. In addition to a permanent exhibition in KM_16, selected works from their collection are shown in changing presentations in KM_159.
In both places, dialogue with art should be promoted in order to encourage the expansion of consciousness, self-reflection and exchange among one another.
In addition, artists who are represented with works in the collection also have the opportunity to present their works in solo exhibitions at KM_159.

MEET THE ARTIST
Andreas Jonak
The sculptor Andreas Jonak was born in Magdeburg in 1989. He began his studies at the Düsseldorf Art Academy in 2008, became a master student of Professor Anthony Cragg in 2013, and received his Academy Certificate in 2013.
His works move between the organic world and industrial formal language. Through deliberate openings and cracks, the sculptor allows the imagination to explore the inner workings of his works without revealing them entirely.
A SMALL INSIGHT INTO OUR COLLECTION
At this point we will show you a small selection from our collection. We would be delighted if you became curious and would visit us on site at KM_16 and KM_159.
OVERVIEW OF ALL ARTISTS
The KM_16 and KM_159 include a series of well-known artists whose art we would like to present to you in our locations in Düsseldorf.
