Overview
- The exhibition opened with a vernissage on Thursday and runs at MUMA Gallery in Eppendorf through 8 November with visiting hours on Thursdays and Fridays from 16:00 to 19:00.
- Trochowski’s switch to showing work has drawn attention because he was a high‑profile player for HSV and Bayern and earned 35 caps for Germany during his career.
- He says he intensified painting after a mid‑2023 workshop with artist Konstantin Bax and now works intuitively in acrylic on canvas from a living‑room studio he converted into an atelier.
- About 40 to 50 pieces exist so far and several are for sale at reported prices ranging from roughly €800 up to €6,400, giving the show both artistic and commercial aims.
- Local coverage frames Trochowski’s move as a personal reinvention that follows a small precedent of ex‑players becoming artists and could boost cultural interest in Hamburg’s gallery scene while providing him steadier creative work and lower public pressure.
