Galerie Thomas Schulte was established in 1991 as Galerie Franck + Schulte. It changed its name in November 2000. It was the first major newcomer to the reawakening art scene of the reunited German capital and received highest critical acclaim from its very start as one of Germany's leading international galleries. Galerie Thomas Schulte regularly participates in the major international art fairs, including Art Basel, the New York Amory Show, Art Forum Berlin, Art Cologne and others.

The program of represented artists centres around conceptual art and focuses on the contemporary scene since 1960. Among the best known positions of the gallery are: Richard Deacon, Alfredo Jaar, Jonathan Lasker, Fabian Marcaccio, Gordon Matta-Clark, Robert Mapplethorpe, Katharina Sieverding and Juan Uslé.
