OstLicht Gallery was founded in 2012 by entrepreneur and photo enthusiast Peter Coeln on the premises of the Anker Brotfabrik in Vienna and has established itself as the leading Austrian gallery dealing with photography. Located in one of Vienna's upcoming cultural hubs, the Gallery’s 400 m2 space has housed comprehensive retrospectives, solo-exhibitions and conceptual group shows by the likes of Nobuyoshi Araki, Ren Hang, Stefanie Moshammer, David LaChapelle, VALIE EXPORT, Juergen Teller, Julian Schnabel and Cora Pongracz. OstLicht Gallery exclusively represents a range of contemporary shooting stars and emerging photographers. We regularly join major international art fairs for photography, such as Spark Art Fair Vienna, Unseen Photo Fair Amsterdam, Photo London, Photofairs Shanghai or viennacontemporary.
OstLicht is a group of specialists and passionate photography devotees with years of professional experience in the field. We use our expertise to find unique hidden gems or works of promising newcomers to the art scene and share them with the photo admirers’ community worldwide. We research, collect, represent, show and offer our bespoke service to a wide range of customers internationally.
