SALOON Munich

✨ Welcome to the Board, Anastasia ✨ We are excited to welcome Anastasia Kaup (she/her) as a new board member of SALOON Munich as of April 2026. Anastasia is a communications and art professional with a strong focus on building meaningful connections within the art world. In her current role at PIN. Freunde der Pinakothek der Moderne e.V., the friends’ association of the museum, she shapes strategic communication, digital presence, and audience engagement. She also oversees the association’s PIN. Young Circle, maintaining close ties to Munich’s emerging art scene. With a background spanning communication, media, and art history (University of Vienna and LMU Munich), Anastasia brings a thoughtful and interdisciplinary perspective—combining a deep understanding of networks, formats, and audiences with a genuine interest in how artistic positions are communicated and contextualized. We are especially excited about her experience in developing programs and formats, building, managing, and strengthening networks, as well as her passion for the arts, her warm and professional approach, and her commitment to increasing the visibility of women in the arts—values that lie at the heart of SALOON. Please join us in welcoming Anastasia! 🙌🤩 (@anastasia_emma_ ) @saloon.network #saloonnetwork #saloonmunich

Last weekend we enjoyed an inspiring and colourful Saturday noon at Archiv Geiger @archivgeiger with art historian Julia Geiger who gave us an exclusive and insightful tour through this long-standing Munich institution. Thanks so much dear @julia_geiger_kunst Surrounded by the legacy of the Munich-based painter Rupprecht Geiger - a major figure in postwar German abstraction - we gathered for conversation, connection and exchange among women across the art world. What a wonderful way to start the spring! #archivgeiger #juliageiger #kunstinmünchen #saloonnetwork #artinmunich

The SALOON Munich visited the Espace Louis Vuitton for an exclusive tour of Wolfgang Tillmans: Passages Silencieux. The exhibition visit felt like the perfect February moment — atmospheric works that gently transported us into different perceptual worlds while offering fascinating insights into Tillmans’ artistic journey. A big thank you to the wonderful team at Espace Louis Vuitton München for the generous invitation and guided tour! We enjoyed it very much! #SALOONMunich #WolfgangTillmans #EspaceLouisVuitton #saloonnetwork

✨ Goodbye 2025 – thank you for an incredible SALOON year ✨ What a year! 2025 was intense, vibrant, and full of encounters for SALOON Munich. Month after month, we came together as a professional network of women working in the art world — at our regular meetings and events, in familiar circles and new constellations, with fresh formats and in ever-changing locations. Our shared goal has always been the same: to support one another, learn from each other, share knowledge, and think forward together — in Munich and beyond. This is what SALOON stands for. In 2025, we deliberately went deeper: through formats such as a finance workshop on working realities in the art sector, a panel discussion on price formation in the art market, and conversations around marketing and self-promotion. Thanks to our members, we were also able to gain exclusive insights — from guided tours of the Academy of Fine Arts Munich annual exhibition, the preview of the Academy Auction, visits to Murrer Rahmen, insights at the HIGHLIGHTS Art Fair, as well as numerous studio and gallery visits across Munich. And of course: our summer celebration at the Franz Marc Museum — truly special. What an evening, what a community 🤍 Thank you to everyone who helped shape, support, and grow SALOON Munich. Here’s to a new SALOON year in 2026 — we can’t wait! ✨ A special thank you to: @franzmarcmuseum @jessikeilholz @tinissima @amelie.schoenberg @riekek @luiseirina_ @nouveauxdeuxdeux @heikedempster @werner_murrer_rahmen @artistcoach.annikawittrock @gallery_thetigerroom @tamikothiel @honey_the_tea @eckardt.cornelia @chichester.lee @nk.schellmann.artworks @catharinarecker @melikekerpel_art @karinkoschkar @akademieverein @minsin_works @studiojaninemackenroth @dorita.zv

Ending the year the SALOON way ✨ We wrapped up the year with our annual SALOON Christmas Gathering — an evening filled with mulled wine, art, and meaningful conversations. And for the very first time we opened our event for friends, too. Looking back at a year full of inspiring encounters and shared moments, it felt special to come together once more and celebrate our community. A heartfelt thank-you to Heike Dempster @heikedempster for hosting us at Ear Ear Projects @minsin_works and for the wonderful introduction to the exhibition “Thinking Matter”. Grateful for this network, the exchanges, and everyone who made 2025 such a strong year. Until next year. 🎄💫 #SALOONMunich #WomenInArt #Community #YearInReview #FemaleEmpowerment #ArtAndConnection @saloon.network @christiane_gorzalka @eva_lengler @ernst_helena

How does it feel to buy art from the next generation of emerging artists? In November, we had the pleasure of being invited by Dr. Karin Koschkar (@karinkoschkar ) from the Akademieverein (@akademieverein ) to an exclusive tour of the preview for their annual auction. Now in its 34th year, the Akademieverein presented more than 100 works by students of the Academy of Fine Arts Munich – spanning sculpture, painting, photography, jewelry, and even performance. A unique chance to support young talent at a formative moment in their careers, which we celebrate! 🙌 A special highlight: artists Lina Teufel (@lina.teufel ) and Ilinca Fechete (@i_________________a ) introduced us to their work firsthand and shared insights into their practice. Thank you for having us — and for championing Munich’s artistic future! 🧡 #AkademieDerBildendenKünste #EmergingArtists #MunichArtScene #SALOONNetwork #SALOONMunich #WomenInArts

Art Cologne – what a moment to connect! @saloon.munich and @saloon.dusseldorf were warmly welcomed at the booth of @zadik_koeln (Central Archive for German and International Art Market Studies, University of Cologne). A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Nadine Oberste-Hetbleck, Director of ZADIK, for the private introduction to their work and their important contribution to strengthening the visibility of women in the art market through the research and outreach project “Women in the Art Market.” 👏 We salute you! We also had the pleasure of meeting Susanne Zander, daughter of the inspiring collector, museum founder, and gallerist Charlotte Zander, who generously shared insights into her mother’s life and legacy. ZADIK has just opened an exhibition dedicated to her achievements and her archive. If you’ve time, go and see it. It will run until September next year. And what a joy to see you, Claudia Linzel (@claudialinzel )! Thank you for always being such a supportive part of our network.🍀 #saloonnetwork @saloon.network @artcolognefair #artcologne2025 #womeninthearts #womenintheartmarket
