With an emphasis on England, the gallery has presented ceramic vessels and sculptures by International artists for more than thirty years.

A permanent exhibition as well as presentations of individual artists and group shows mirror the various standards of individual achievement as well as the most recent trends and developments in ceramic art.

Situated in the centre of Heidelberg and right in the middle of Europe the gallery has become an international meeting place for artists, collectors and all those who take a lively interest in the arts.

Since 1998 the gallery is housed in light and spacious rooms with more than 180 square metres of exhibition space south of Bismarckplatz in the old park opposite the well known hotel Europäischer Hof.

Meanwhile the gallery has turned into a forum of ceramic art where you will not fail to meet the most prominent artists as well as museum people and collectors.

ART FROM PRAGUE I UND II

In 2024, art from Prague is the focus of the Marianne Heller Gallery.

June 9 to July 28: Ceramics

September 1 to October 20: Glass

It has been 35 years since gallery owner Marianne Heller turned her attention to the art scene in our Eastem European neighbor, the Czech Republic. It was that memorable year 1989, the year of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the disappearance of the Iron Curtain. It has become a continuing story. Over the years, many exhibitions have awakened interest in the "other" art."

To mark the 100th anniversary of Franz Kafka's death, the gallery is launching the ART FROM PRAGUE I series from June 9, 2024, taking another look at the Prague ceramics scene with Eva Slaviková's sculptures focusing on the contrast of black and white, Elżbieta Grosseová's whimsical, organoid creations and Jiří Laštovička's porcelain figurative scenes. In bursts of imagination, the artists go beyond the vessel tradition, creating sculptures and almost stories from the material clay.

From September 1, the exhibition ART FROM PRAGUE II will focus on the presentation of extraordinary studio objects by 13 established glass artists. The selection by the Kuzebauch Gallery, Prague, represents a cross-section of the glass art scene in the Czech Republic across several generations.

The high craftsmanship of Czech glass art was recognized in December 2023 by its inclusion in the UNESCO list of intangible cultural heritage.
