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.

EXHIBITION
„HEIMSPIEL“
by Stephan Marienfeld
Opening March 14th 2025
at the artroom KM_159, Hansaallee 159, 40549 Düsseldorf, 6 – 8 pm
PLACE OF SCULPTURES at the Art Düsseldorf
(April 10th – April 13th)
The exhibition shows how Stephan Marienfeld makes sculptural processes his language, with which he succeeds in changing the form and meaning of various materials in sometimes astonishing ways. The artist plays with the tension and curvature of surfaces made of bronze, aluminum, stainless steel, stone or polyester, as well as with artistic meshes of lines and curves in very different ways, creating unpredictable interactions and light reflections.
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.
