Almost Human

Lohaus Sominsky is delighted to open its new gallery space in New York. The New York inauguration of Lohaus Sominsky presents the exhibition Almost Human by Berlin-based artist Charlie Stein featuring newly created works, including several paintings and a site-specific installation conceived specifically for the Tribeca gallery space. Stein’s artistic approach closely aligns with the gallery’s core Lohaus Sominsky’s gallery space in New York is located at 62 White Street in the heart of Tribeca, one of the city’s most influential and rapidly evolving gallery districts. Defined by notably high walls, a sweeping street-facing window, and a red-brick façade, the space combines the character of industrial New York with the clarity and openness of a contemporary exhibition environment. Designed to accommodate both intimate encounters and ambitious artistic statements, the gallery provides a flexible architectural framework for dynamic programming. Its location was chosen deliberately: Tribeca has become a nexus of dialogue, experimentation, and cross-pollination within the international art scene. From here, the gallery will introduce European artists to New York while presenting New York–based artists in Munich, fostering a sustained and vibrant cultural exchange between the two cities. Coming from an Eastern European Jewish family with a history of cross-continental movement, Sofia Sominsky spent her childhood in Prague. She later moved to Düsseldorf to study Art History and subsequently to Tel Aviv, where she gained her first gallery experience before continuing her work in galleries in Munich. She has recently relocated to New York to open the gallery’s second space. Ingrid Lohaus holds a PhD in Art History and studied in Augsburg, Rome, and Florence. She has more than twenty years of experience in the art market before founding the gallery Lohaus Sominsky in Munich together with Sofia Sominsky. Both are highly experienced gallerists with local roots and a global spirit, sharing a strong commitment to artists and to bringing their voices and perspectives into the contemporary art scene. Founded in 2022, Lohaus Sominsky opened its first space in a large former textile warehouse adjacent to Lenbachplatz in Munich’s art district. The gallery’s exhibitions cover a wide range of interdisciplinary themes spanning science, technology, and art history.
