Founded in 1987 at the initiation of Kasper König, Portikus is Frankfurt's hottest venue for contemporary art and has quickly become one of Germany's leading venues, with an impressive roster of shows by artists such as On Kawara, Luc Tuymans and Franz West. In 2004 Portikus gained a new curator, Nikola Dietrich, a prominent presence on the European art scene. Dietrich has done much to further energize Portikus, and this volume presents a survey of the gallery's last three years under her guidance. Dietrich has mounted more than 20 exhibitions with international artists, among them Koo Jeong-a, Felix Gmelin, Yoko Ono (in collaboration with students from the Städelschule), Olafur Eliasson, Matthew Ritchie, Chung Seoyoung, Sean Snyder, Mark Leckey, Marjetica Potrc, Tomas Saraceno, Dan Perjovschi, Francis Alÿs, John Baldessari, Daniel Buren and Maurizio Cattelan.
