About
Holtermann Fine Art, founded by Marianne Holtermann, has been dealing internationally in 20th century and contemporary art since the early 1980s. Holtermann Fine Art has been instrumental in the formation of several important private museum collections and has successfully negotiated sales of works by artists including Georg Baselitz, Tony Cragg, Robert Gober, Anselm Kiefer, Edvard Munch, Claes Oldenburg and Charles Ray to public and private institutions including the Astrup Fearnley Museum, Oslo, Hubei National Museum, Wuhan, the Kistefos Museum, Norway, and M+, Hong Kong.
Holtermann’s Cork Street gallery opened 2019 on the site of Peggy Guggenheim’s prewar London gallery. Shows at the gallery expands Holtermann’s core activity of showing and placing important sculptural works in urban and natural settings. Exhibitions have included works by Nick Cave, Tony Cragg, Georg Baselitz, Peter Buggenhout, Antony Gormley, Sterling Ruby and Woodrow/Deacon as well as younger artists like Tony Matelli, Jorge Otero-Pailos, Olivia Bax and Ahmed Umar.
Marianne Holtermann was born in Norway where she studied history of art before moving to London in 1977 to study at the Sotheby’s Institute (known then as the Sotheby’s Works of Art course). After graduating she was a junior cataloguer in Christie’s Print Department, where she specialized in the printed oeuvre of her compatriot Edvard Munch.
Marianne moved to New York in 1982 to start the gallery which later became Luhring Augustine. While there Marianne was tasked by Ernst Beyeler to service and extend his Basel gallery’s network of museum and private contacts.
This was the start of an independent career as a dealer and consultant to important American and European collections. In the early years, Marianne worked extensively with major American collectors including Nicholas C. Forstmann, Frances R. Dittmer and Joseph R. Shapiro.
A love for her home country has led Marianne to also focus on developing public and private collections in Norway. She has enabled commissions by leading artists to be undertaken for both private and public collections there.
In recent years, she has worked with museums in China and Hong Kong on exhibitions and acquisitions.
Marianne is married to Lance Entwistle, the prominent dealer in tribal art from Africa and Oceania. They have two children and live in London.
