In Loving Memory of Klaus Dierkes (1957–2025)

 It is with great sadness that Hua International announces thesudden passing of our beloved co-founder, Klaus Dierkes, due to a heart attack.

Klaus co-founded Hua International in 2020 with his wife and partner in all things, Xiaochan Hua. His vision, paired with hers, laid the foundation for the gallery's bi-located presence in Berlin and Beijing, and his enduring commitment to cross-cultural dialogue has helped shape Hua International in every aspect of it.

Born in Germany and having spent many years working in China, Klaus saw the gallery not only as an artistic endeavor, but as a living bridge between worlds, between emerging and established voices, between East and West, between discipline and experimentation.

Klaus remained deeply involved with the gallery's work until the very end. His loss is immeasurable. But the legacy Klaus leaves behind of care, commitment, and cross-cultural purpose, will continue to guide Hua International in both Berlin and Beijing. 

The gallery will go forward in his memory and in honor of his belief.
