About Us:

The focus of Christian Hohmann Fine Art is International Contemporary Fine Art, mostly from Europe and the United States with an emphasis on Figurative Art. Christian Hohmann comes from a family of art dealers and gallerists. Galerie Hohmann was founded by his
parents in 1976 and The Hart Gallery by his aunt Eva Hart in 1998. While he was still studying Art History and Economy, Christian opened his first gallery in 1995 in Hamburg and then a second gallery in Berlin in 2001 (both Germany). From 2002 to 2009 Christian
was the Director of The Hart Gallery, which represented many of the European artists in their locations in Chicago, Carmel and Palm Desert. Since Eva Hart retired in 2009, Christian Hohmann continues the representation of European artists in the tradition of The
Hart Gallery in the United States while his parents represent these artists in Germany and Europe. The gallery participates in important international art shows, represents several artist's estates, publishes books and catalogues and curates exhibitions.

History:
Christian Hohmann Fine Art represents almost 40 years of lineage in the art world by the Hohmann/Hart family founded in Germany and in 2013 Christian Hohmann celebrates his 20 year anniversary of entering the professional art world. Christian’s parents Werner and Ursula opened their first gallery in 1976 in the cultural tourist destination of Walsrode, which quickly became a success attracting cosmopolitan visitors from all over the world. In 1998, his aunt Eva Hart ventured to the States and opened a gallery in Carmel by the Sea, a premiere address for the California fine art world. She introduced art collectors to the best European contemporary artists, a relatively untapped market in the area, and one in which was found a thriving market. Only two years later the Hart family opened another location in the heart of Chicago. Back in Germany, 19-year old Christian was honing his own career by studying Art History and Economy at the University of Trier. In 1993, just a month before he began his studies, he founded Kunstverlag Christian Hohmann, a company that would publish lithographs, etchings and serigraphs by several artists, among them the acclaimed artist Prof. Rudolf Hausner, an important representative of the Viennese School of Fantastic Realism. Two years later he opened his first gallery in Hamburg at 21. In 1998 he partnered up with Thomas Levy, one of Germany’s premier art dealers and gallery owners, to open a gallery villa in Hamburg-Poeseldorf. The gallery highlighted artists such as Joan Miro, Marc Chagall, Francis Bacon, and Xenia Hausner and participated in art expos including Art Frankfurt and the prestigious Hamburg Photo Triennale. Three years later, Hohmann collaborated on a project gallery in Berlin-Mitte.

In 2002 Eva Hart decided to open a flagship gallery in Palm Desert, CA. Located on the exclusive El Paseo Drive in the renowned playground for the Forbes 400, the gallery played host to visitors from all over the world looking for paradise weather, perfect golf and tennis and world-class art. Christian joined his aunt as gallery director and went on to facilitate stellar exhibitions from modern classics like Joan Miro, Chagall, and Gabriele Muenter to contemporary artists such as Paul Wunderlich, Eberhard Hückstädt and Karin Voelker. In the summer of 2009, the Harts retired and Christian decided to carry on the family tradition solo with a new 5,000 square foot signature space, also located on El Paseo Drive.

Today, Christian Hohmann Fine Art reflects this rich legacy in the art world, which began in Germany almost 40 years ago, and now spans across the United States. With a longstanding tradition of presenting both European and national artists of the highest caliber to the discerning collector, the gallery’s strong figurative program is accentuated by diverse offerings in 20th century master works by both familiar and emerging names. The gallery features an exquisite selection of original paintings and sculpture by over 100 unique artists while also representing many artists’ estates. From the prestigious location on El Paseo and with a network of artists, collectors, galleries and institutions the gallery has built a strong internet presence that reaches far beyond the borders of the United States. By participating in art fairs across the US and by publishing books and catalogs, the gallery is trying to spread the word about their artists world wide. With a true passion for art, educating the client, and a devotion to its artists, the gallery has garnered a world-class reputation as a sophisticated destination for art.
