Lumas is a gallery that believes art should be for everyone. With a mission called the “Liberation of Arts,” Lumas wants to bring contemporary art into our everyday lives. They offer art pieces at prices that many people can afford.
A spokesperson for Lumas said, “We are a source of ideas for accessible contemporary art. Our editions stand for inspiration, expression, and connection.” This means that Lumas wants to inspire people and help them feel connected to art.
Lumas is known for its limited and signed editions. This means they sell pieces of art that are not mass-produced. You can find these artworks in their 19 galleries located mainly in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France. They also have a large online store, making it easy for art collectors all over the world to find something they love.

In their online store, you can discover classic works from the 1960s by famous photographers like Bert Stern and Slim Aarons. Aarons is known for his photographs of high society in Palm Springs, capturing elegance and fun. Bert Stern is famous for his iconic photo session with Marilyn Monroe, known as “The Last Sitting.” These photographs show a side of Monroe, revealing her as a complex and fragile person.
Lumas also supports new artists. One of these artists is Beatrice Hug, who recently announced an exclusive art drop for her work called “Pulse Venus.” This artwork uses special technology that makes it change with every glance. It will only be available for four days, giving collectors a chance to own a limited edition piece.
