25

"We opened the Raster Gal­lery in 2001 — this April marks 25 years of our activity in the art market. To celebrate the occasion, we present an anniver­sary col­lec­tion of 25 works by 25 artists close to us. Together they form a kind of clock of art — each piece was created in a dif­ferent year of the past quarter-​century. Some of these works have been exhibited by us before, others have not. Taken together, they tell a story about people and time. However, this is not about writing history; rather, it is about recal­ling dif­ferent moments — dif­ferent presents in which, thanks to art, we live our everyday lives. One of the threads explored here is relation­ships, par­ticularly the act of wor­king as a pair — something that for a quar­ter of a cen­tury has been an inspiring chal­lenge for us.

For the exhibition we also invited frien­dly gal­leries from around the world with whom we have had the pleasure of col­laborating: i8 Gal­lery, Esther Schip­per, Galerie Jocelyn Wolff, and Plan B Gal­lery and Berlin."
