Early life

Schipper is the daughter of Dutch sinologist Kristofer Schipper. [2] She was born in Taiwan and lived there until the age of seven. [3] She later grew up in Paris. [4]

Career

Schipper gained her first professional experience as an assistant at the Monika Sprüth Gallery in Cologne in 1983/84.

Schipper opened her first gallery in Cologne in 1989. [5] [6] Between 1990 and 1992, Schipper and Daniel Buchholz also operated Buchholz & Schipper, a shop specializing in multiples. In cooperation with Michael Krome, the gallery operated under the name Schipper & Krome between 1994 and 2004.

In 1995, Schipper opened a project space in Berlin, and moved all of its operations there in 1997. [6] [7] [8] From 2010 until 2017, the gallery was located in a 500 m2 (5,400 sq ft) space in the former offices of architect Arno Brandlhuber in Berlin's Tiergarten district. [4] Following negotiations launched in 2014, Schipper acquired the majority shareholding in Jörg Johnen GmbH in 2015 [9] [10] and then took over both galleries' sites; the Johnen location eventually closed. [11]

In 2017, Esther Schipper moved to a 5,800 sq ft (540 m2) space located inside a former printing facility and warehouse for the local Berlin newspaper Der Tagesspiegel on Potsdamer Strasse; the space was designed by Selldorf Architects. [12] [13] In 2021, the gallery had temporary spaces in Palma de Mallorca (500 m2 (5,400 sq ft)), Zhongshan District, Taipei (250 m2 (2,700 sq ft)) [14] and the Tianjin Free-Trade Zone. [15] Since 2022, the gallery has been operating second location in Paris and a third showroom in a four-story building in Seoul's Itaewon neighbourhood, designed by StudioMDA. [16]

In addition to her work as a gallerist, Schipper was a member of the Art Basel art fair's selection committee for ten years [17] and later joined the selection committee of Frieze Art Fair in New York. [18] She was also one of the co-founders of Berlin's annual Gallery Weekend. [19]
