Michael Beck (* January 24, 1963 in Tegernsee) is a German gallery owner and curator. His specialties are German Expressionist art and the Zero era.

Life

Beck is the son of the artist Herbert Beck. After graduating from high school in Tegernsee, he trained as an art dealer at Galerie Utermann. He then worked as an assistant to Raimund Thomas at the Thomas Gallery in Munich. In 1989 he completed his art history studies at Christie's Education London with a diploma from the Royal Academy. From 1989 to 1993 he was in the management of the Dortmund gallery Utermann[1]. In 1994 he opened the gallery Michael Beck Leipzig, in which the art historian Dr. Ute Eggeling joined. In 1995, he organized an exhibition of works by the expressionist Emil Nolde from German private collections for John McEnroe's gallery in New York, which at the time was noted as the most extensive private exhibition on Expressionism in the U.S.[2]

In 1998 the gallery, renamed Beck & Eggeling International Fine Art in 1996, moved to Düsseldorf, where it maintains two different exhibition spaces[3].

In 2019, Beck took over the role as chairman of the Olaf Gulbransson foundation and museum in Tegernsee. Conceiving ambitious exhibitions, breaking new ground, leading the foundation into the digital age as well as a closer cooperation with the Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen (Bavarian State Painting Collections) are amongst his goals for the museum that is situated in Beck's hometown Tegernsee. With his first major exhibition "Marc Chagall. A love story" in which Beck put on view over 60 works by Marc Chagall, the museum achieved an unprecedented success[4] with over 14.000 visitors in just 5 month. His second major exhibition on view at the museum in 2022 showcases international artworks under the title "From Renoir to Jawlenskly. Collected with Passion. Works from Private Collections".[5]
