W&K - Wienerroither & Kohlbacher is an international art dealer and gallery specializing in 20th century art, with locations in Vienna and New York.

Locations in Vienna
W&K - Wienerroither & Kohlbacher was founded in 1993 by Eberhard Kohlbacher and Alois M. Wienerroither. With the regularly taking place "Kunstheurigen" the gallery in Währinger Straße 133, in the 9th district of Vienna, developed early on into a meeting place for Austrian artists and collectors and invited to a discussion about art.

In 1997 the company moved to the historical Palais Hardegg, Strauchgasse 2, in the 1st district of Vienna. Since then, the high vaults of the Palais have provided a suitable setting for the presentation of selected works of classical modernism and art after 1945. 2007 saw the expansion of the gallery premises at the same location as part of the company's 10th anniversary celebrations.

Since 2016, the gallery has also occupied a further 520 m² of exhibition space in the Beletage of the Palais Schönborn-Batthyány, built between 1699 and 1706. The building, with its three state rooms and several smaller representative rooms, forms an exciting environment for the presentation of selected post-1945 artists and contemporary art.

Location in New York
In 2013, W&K - Wienerroither & Kohlbacher associated itself with the Shepherd Gallery, which had been in existence since 1966, under the name Shepherd W&K Galleries. In the exhibition rooms on the Upper East Side, two blocks away from the Metropolitan Museum, solo and group exhibitions are shown. The focus is on Austrian and German artists of classical modernism. So far, for example, presentations by Alfred Kubin, Oskar Kokoschka and Gustav Klimt have been shown.

Activity on the Art market
The gallery regularly exhibits works by over 50 national and international artists, making it active in both the primary and secondary markets of the art trade.

From the very beginning, the gallery and art dealership have focused on modern and post-war art, with works by Austrian artists such as Egon Schiele, Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka, Alfred Kubin, Albin Egger-Lienz, Alfons Walde, Carl Moll, Josef Floch, Koloman Moser, Max Weiler, Max Oppenheimer and other artists from the Vienna Secession around 1900 and the Hagenbund. The gallery also represents German Expressionists from artist associations such as Die Brücke and Der Blauer Reiter, including Emil Nolde, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Erich Heckel, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff and Otto Müller, as well as Bauhaus artists such as Lyonel Feininger and Paul Klee.

Since that year, the art gallery has also dedicated its work to selected contemporary artists, such as Heinz Mack, Eduard Angeli or Günther Uecker and international representatives of modernism such as Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque and Joan Miró.

Art Fairs
W&K - Wienerroither & Kohlbacher is regularly represented at international art fairs such as the Frieze Masters in London, TEFAF Maastricht , TEFAF New York Spring , Highlights - International Art Fair Munich , the Art&Antique Salzburg and the Biennale internazionale di Antiquariato di Firenze in Florence and presents selected works from their repertoire. Since its foundation, the company has participated in over 100 art fairs.

Together with the galleries Beck & Eggeling, Faber, Konzett, Ruberl and Salis, the Art Salon Salzburg was founded in 2015. This art salon does without bunks and shows during the Salzburg Summer Festival in the Sala Terrena of the Salzburg University a curated exhibition of first-class art of the 20th and 21st centuries. In the adjoining garden 'Dietrichsruh' a sculpture garden is also presented.

Furthermore the gallery regularly provides loans for national and international museums, including Albertina in Vienna, Österreichische Galerie Belvedere, Fundación Juan March in Madrid, Fondation Beyeler, Szépművészeti Múzeum in Budapest, National Gallery in London, Tate Gallery of Modern Art, Fondation Louis Vuitton or the Getty Museum in Los Angeles.
