About Us

Kubus & Kugel Editionen was founded with the aim of making print art accessible, relevant and approachable for everyone. We believe that art should not only be collected, but also lived.

Our offerings include limited editions, overpainted unique pieces, and a carefully curated selection of works. We create a framework in which art lovers can build or expand their collection transparently, fairly, and without the distance often associated with the art market.

The Team:

Zaza Lüpertz is a trained art historian and cultural manager, bringing her expertise from Munich and Berlin to Kubus & Kugel. After positions in a renowned gallery and an emerging auction house in Berlin, she gained valuable experience in the art world over many years. With her passion for art and an instinct for the market, she ensures that collectors at Kubus & Kugel are inspired to rediscover printmaking. It is particularly important to her to bring the craft more into focus with K&K.

Lilli Lüpertz is a qualified lawyer and cultural manager, and gained many years of experience in international galleries in Berlin, New York, and Paris. Today, she works as an Artist Liaison and Studio Manager, supporting artists in realizing their projects. Through her presence at art fairs, exhibitions, and museums, she is always close to artists, collectors, and the current developments in the market. At Kubus & Kugel, her focus is on building a community and providing personal advice on art purchases. This includes the selection and curatorial classification of works, as well as recommendations for framing and hanging in private spaces.

Why Kubus & Kugel?

Our name refers to the sculpture “Stone of Good Fortune”, which Johann Wolfgang von Goethe had erected near his garden house in the Park an der Ilm in Weimar. The monument, which depicts a sphere resting on a cube, is considered one of the first non-figurative monuments in Germany. The cube stands for permanence, structure, and stability. The sphere, on the other hand, embodies the impermanent: chance, movement, and change. Goethe was alluding to the Greek goddess Tyche – goddess of fate, of fortunate (and sometimes unfortunate) happenstance.

For us as sisters and founders, this combination reflects exactly what makes a publishing house: the tradition of craftsmanship with a contemporary implementation, expertise in the existing and curiosity for the new, planning and happy coincidences.
