Over the past decade, Meyer Riegger and Galerie Jocelyn Wolff have each pursued unique yet complementary approaches to expanding their presence in Asia. Through collaboration with local museums, galleries, and institutions, as well as long-term relationships with collectors and art fairs, Asia has evolved into an area brimming with potential and exciting projects. Starting in 2025, the two galleries will join forces to create Meyer Riegger Wolff, a new gallery based in Seoul, South Korea, to continue exploring the region.
Meyer Riegger, founded in 1997 in Karlsruhe and with locations in Berlin and Basel, is renowned for its curatorially-driven programme, focusing on both conceptual and contemporary art. The gallery’s early years showcased conceptual artists like Meuser and Jonathan Monk. In the 2000s, it broadened its programme to include artists exploring existential themes and performance, such as Katinka Bock and Miriam Cahn. With the opening of a Berlin space in 2008 and a Basel location in 2020, Meyer Riegger expanded its international reach, further diversifying its roster with names like Alexandra Bachzetsis and Ulla von Brandenburg. Recent additions, including Tamina Amadyar and Alma Feldhandler, have reinforced the gallery’s commitment to emerging voices.
Based in Paris, Galerie Jocelyn Wolff has been promoting a rigorous and committed vision of contemporary art for over twenty years, supporting emerging artists while fostering the recognition of historical figures. The gallery has developed an artistic program guided by progressive aesthetic values, encouraging the circulation of both artworks and ideas. Since Sept 2025 the gallery is located in Matignon district in Paris, in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. Galerie Jocelyn Wolff represents 22 artists, such as Miriam Cahn, Franz Erhard Walther and Katinka Bock (please refer to the website for the complete list) and participates in major international art fairs. Beyond exhibitions, Galerie Jocelyn Wolff also proposes secondary market services, assisting collectors with acquisitions and research. In addition to contemporary art, the gallery is committed to preserving and promoting historical avant-garde work, particularly through its representation of Marcelle Cahn and Imre Pán’s archives, further linking modern and contemporary art.Meyer Riegger Wolff’s newly inaugurated gallery in Seoul is led by Italian director Gaia Musi. As Director and CEO Partner in Seoul, Gaia Musi brings extensive expertise in the Asian art market, developed over more than six years at Galerie Jocelyn Wolff, where she focused on China while expanding the gallery’s presence throughout Asia. She lived in Shanghai for over four years, where she directed the gallery’s regional office and built strong relationships with key figures in the Korean art market, as well as across the broader Asian art scene. A graduate of INALCO (National Institute for Oriental Languages and Civilizations) in Paris, with a degree in Chinese Language and Culture, Musi combines academic discipline with a self-directed passion for contemporary art. This rare combination gives her a nuanced understanding of Asia’s complex artistic and commercial ecosystems.
Meyer Riegger Wolff occupies an orange-white building designed by renowned Korean architect Choi Wook, featuring a raw concrete structure and layered geometry. Adapted by ONE O ONE Architects, the space was reconfigured to flexibly accommodate the gallery’s dynamic exhibition program. The architectural contrast within the building—between weight and lightness, solid and void—mirrors the gallery’s intellectually grounded, materially engaged, and conceptually profound approach.
Throughout 2025–2026, Meyer Riegger Wolff will present a diverse array of artists from both Meyer Riegger and Galerie Jocelyn Wolff, alongside emerging talents and historically significant figures. This curatorial approach aims to foster a dynamic dialogue between generations, practices, and perspectives, across a wide range of media.
