LUMAS
LIBERATION OF ARTS
Art changes the way we look at the world. With the goal of democratizing art LUMAS has changed the art market. Supported by 250 artists and a community of over 300,000+ art lovers and collectors we are now the global leader in art editions.
In 19 galleries worldwide and our e-commerce channels we invite our audience to experience art in all its facets. Our well-curated portfolio includes more than 3,000 artworks in a vast variety of genres and techniques from established artists and promising newcomers as well as historical and contemporary works from selected archives.
ART IS A WINDOW TO THE WORLD AND THROUGH LUMAS A PERSPECTIVE FOR MANY
LUMAS art editions close the gap between the very high-priced unique pieces of the galleries and the less valuable high-circulation prints of the museum stores. The hand-signed works in limited editions at a fair price offer all art lovers the opportunity to surround themselves with art and thus enrich their lives.
Each work of art holds a story worth telling. We share stories, knowledge and views and invite our audience to immerse themselves in the world of art – since the fascination of art makes us see the world around us in a new way.

Our founders
At 18 years of age, Marc Ullrich founded Rainbow Arts Software GmbH. Just a few years later, he sold the business and his shares to Softgold GmbH. In 1992, Ullrich became a member of the board of directors at ESCOM AG. In his later work as a consultant, clients included 1&1, HP/Compaq, and IBM. In 1997, he helped grow STRATO AG. After two years, he sold his shares and went on to livingNet AG, where he helped professionally commercialize internet presences. As a founder of LUMAS Art Editions GmbH, with LUMAS he is making the world of photo art accessible to everyone who is enthusiastic about it.
In 1995, Stefanie Harig founded the PR agency, Die Brücke Public Relations GmbH. Notable clients included German federal ministries, Mercedes-Benz, McKinsey & Company, and Deutsche Bahn. After four years, she sold her stake to SMYLE GmbH to focus on her passion for architecture, art, and design and to work as an Interior Designer and Art Consultant. A passionate art collector, she founded LUMAS in 2004 to make high-quality, limited edition art affordable for new collectors and a broad, art-loving public.
